It's a legal requirement as per motor vehicle act, So when you are driving on the public road you have to show it to Police.
2- If you are asked by the police and you don't have the original certificate with you. Will they issue a challan to you?
3- Is the photocopy of the certificate would do the needfull?

My dad is the policy holder and he doesn't keep the certificate in the car, instead it is kept in a safe place.

Thanks!

So carrying the photocopy would not do the right thing. They (police) may issue you a challan. Cover note is advisable as proof of current insurance.
But better talk to your dad and tell him the legal thing, he will understand .
