Permits will be issued without applying to the transport office while purchasing new commercial vehicles
Vehicle sellers and authorized dealers can issue permits for new commercial vehicles
Raipur, 28 February . Following the intention of the Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel and under the guidance of the Transport Minister Mr. Mohammad Akbar, the successful operation of the Transport Department’s new facility named ‘Tuhar Sarkar Tuhar Dwar’ is being done. Under this service, transport facilities are being provided at the doorstep of the vehicle owner by the Transport Department. In this regard, the buyer can apply for a permit for newly-purchased commercial vehicles to the vehicle seller/dealer while purchasing the vehicle. They wouldn’t require visiting the transport office to apply for a new vehicle permit.
It is noteworthy that getting a permit for all commercial vehicles weighing more than 3000 Kg. is compulsory. To obtain a permit, the potential buyer has to apply online and then visit the transport office. Thereafter, the permit is issued after marking it with a seal.
Why get a permit made?
Many vehicle buyers lack knowledge of a permit’s legal requirements. Especially, buyers who purchase small vehicles often ignore the permit, while considering it a mere registration requirement. They often consider vehicle registration as the complete document. However, when the vehicle faces an accident, the insurance company refuses to issue the insurance amount in the event of no permit. As a result, the vehicle owner has to suffer the financial burden.
How many types of permits are there?
Permits are of mainly two types. The state permit is issued for driving vehicles in the state, and the national permit is issued for driving vehicles in three or more states. The dealer point offers the facility to apply for both types of permits.
The Raipur Automobile Dealer Association (RADA) had been demanding a facility for permit application at the dealer point for many years. In this regard, the Transport Minister had also raised the demand alongside the Automobile Association. Transport Minister Mohammad Akbar had provided the assurance for required action in the matter.
It is noteworthy that the Transport Minister Mr. Mohammad Akbar, under the ‘Tuhar Sarkar Tuhar Dwar’ scheme, is committed to providing various RTO facilities to the doorstep of the vehicle owner. It is the intention of the Transport Minister that people don’t necessarily require to visit the transport office for vehicle-related work. This facility will enable people to receive all RTO benefits at their homes and will also save them time. Moreover, the crowd at the RTO office will be less dense, due to which the quality of work done by the transport staff will improve substantially.
The ‘Tuhar Sarkar Tuhar Dwar’ scheme operated by the Transport Department is an important service for the facility of people. As per this scheme, transport-related services are provided at the doorsteps of people. Under this public-centric facility, people won’t have to frequent the offices of the transport department again and again. This will save both the money and time of the applicants.
