Verdict

Verify (i) PUC validity on DOL and the renewal interval of the issuing state, (ii) vehicle age vs the applicable diesel/petrol cut-off (NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata — varies), (iii) for tankers, the last hydro-test and annual visual-inspection certificate (PESO Form XIV). An expired hydro-test on a leaking tanker claim is almost always a cause-contributing factor — insurer may reduce or deny on contributory negligence.
