The document which must be carried while driving the two wheeler are specifically as below:

1. Driving Licence
2. Insurance Certificate
3. Registration Certificate
4. PUC Certificate

As per Section 130 sub section 1 of Central Motor Vehicle Act 1988 it is mandatory to carry the driving license while driving however it is not mandatory to carry the insurance certificate and Registration Certificate, as per Section 130(3)of CMV Act 1988 and Section 139 of Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 in case you are not in possession of the said documents at the time of demand then within the period of fifteen days from the date of demand, you are supposed to submit photo copies of the same, duly attested

 As far as PUC is concerned, it is not required for a newly purchased vehicle upto a period of one year as per the Section 115 subsection 7 of CMV Rules 1989 otherwise it is mandatory as per CMV Rules 115(1) for every vehicle, its possession does not prevents a police officer or the person authorized in this behalf by the state government from directing the driver of the vehicle to get the emission levels checked at the authorized testing station and to produce the certificate to the subject officer.The cost of PUC testing is mere Rs. 35 but the fine is Rs. 500 so it is logical to obtain a PUC.
