Bought a preowned car recently and I’m the second owner. RC transfer got approved on April 30, but I still haven’t received the physical RC card yet.

The existing insurance expires on May 20 and I’m planning to buy a new insurance policy now itself. Since the ownership has changed, will insurers usually ask for a vehicle inspection before issuing the policy?

Also, is the digital RC / Parivahan updated status enough for insurance renewal, or do they strictly need the physical RC card?

Would appreciate if anyone who recently went through ownership transfer + insurance renewal can share their experience.
