When you have purchased the vehicle after getting the transfer of vehicle with RTO authorities you are required to inform the Insurance company by paying nominal fees of Rs.50/- but if vehicle got stolen & insurance company is denying it liability then you can knock door of Civil Court for recovery of amount with costs

You are entitiled to inaurance claim though the policy was yet to be transferred in your name. For case law please read Delhi state Consumer Forum decision in National Insurance Co. v Promod Kumar 2006(11) CCC 151.
