Keep vehicle papers as DigiLocker copies, not just the glovebox originals
A traffic stop accepts the digital copy exactly like the original.
Why it works
DigiLocker-issued copies of the RC, insurance and licence are legally equivalent to the physical documents for a traffic check. The glovebox copy can get lost, wet, or left in another vehicle; the digital one is always on the phone already in your pocket.
