📋 Tender Overview
The State Duma has adopted in the first reading a bill providing for an increase in the maximum period for vehicle repairs under compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance from 30 to 45 working days.
The document was initiated by senators Andrei Kutepov and Valery Vasiliev.
"Under the conditions of sanctions pressure, dealers who repair cars, service stations, and insurance companies have faced the problem of a lack of spare parts and a breakdown in the supply chains that ensure their timely delivery for vehicle repairs. The vector taken before February 24, 2022, aimed at the car owner receiving a restored vehicle after an accident, is becoming difficult to implement," the explanatory note says.
The fulfillment of insurance companies' obligations is also affected by the timeframes for carrying out vehicle repairs. The timeframe is no more than 30 working days from the date of the injured party's provision of such a vehicle to a service station or the transfer of such a vehicle to the insurer to organize its transportation to the place of repairs - the time during which spare parts must be delivered and the vehicle repaired - in case of violation of which penalties are assessed. Due to the fact that in the current situation, compliance with the specified timeframes often becomes impossible, insurers are forced to terminate contracts with service stations, the authors of the document indicate.
The Russian government conceptually supported the document in its conclusion.
