Central Government may make rules to carry this Chapter into effect, except for matters reserved elsewhere. Rules can prescribe forms, how to apply for and issue certificates of insurance (including duplicates), custody, cancellation, surrender and the records insurers must maintain. They may also deal with identifying exempt vehicles, adapting rules for temporary or reciprocating-country vehicles, time limits for furnishing particulars, and any other prescribed matters.
