He added that the Central Government facilitated RTO services through Sarathi and Vahan categories. Providing 30 online services will result in saving crores of sheets of paper,” Mr. When we shift to online, paper consumption gets reduced. Each file would have at least six papers, basically photocopies of various documents such as Aadhaar, vehicle documents, and others. “Till now, files are getting piled up at RTOs. Every year, more than 12 lakh vehicles get registered in the State and 23 to 25 lakh people apply for learning licences and lakhs of people go to RTOs for various other services. In addition, the online services will reduce use of papers drastically at RTOs. The Transport Department launched smart cards for driving licences and RCs in 2009, but it has hardly been of any use as enforcing authorities do not have the readers available with them to read the chip card that are inserted in these smart cards. However, the smart card for driving licences continue to be issued.” There is no need for issuing existing smart cards for RC. When law enforcement authorities ask, they can be produced through DigiLocker or printed RC. ‘Digital format’Īsked what will happen to RC smart cards that have been issued by the department for over a decade, he said, “As per the rules specified for the Central Government, RCs should be made available through the digital format. The timeline for registration of vehicles will get drastically reduced in the coming days,” he said. Allotment of registration number happens online. Now, dealers can register the vehicles by filling forms online and paying tax without producing the vehicle for inspection.
This was causing inconvenience to vehicle owners.
“Earlier, the RTOs were insisting on physical verification of vehicles prior to registration. Rajender Kumar Kataria, Principal Secretary of Transport Department told The Hindu, that doing away with physical verification for registration of new vehicles is a major change. On Monday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai launched 30 contactless online services related to the Transport Department.Īmong the services, the prominent ones are registration of new vehicles (non-transport) at the dealer point, issuing of learning licence, transfer of ownership, temporary registration certificate, and issuing of international driving permit. Instead of smart cards, owners of new vehicles will get their RCs in a digitised format and printed on paper. After issuing smart cards for registration certificates (RCs) for over 12 years, the Transport Department will do away with the exercise in the future.
