And recently got pulled in Goa (twice in a day) for not having Original RC and Insurance docs and Had to pay a heft fine! Does anyone know whether they were bullshitting or is it really required?

You may as well add this info to the original post as it is VERY MUCH required for a long drive (many states).

FYI, In southern states (Karnataka/TN/Kerala or AP) I have never been fined for NOT having Original docs.
