Historic Initiative To Enable The Common Man For Getting The Delivery Of The Smart Registration Certificate At Their Doorsteps
Chandigarh: Taking a leap forward for ensuring registration of new vehicles in a smooth and hassle free, the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday launched a new citizen centric service of e-Registration Certificates (e-RCs) of new vehicles through automobile dealers in the state thereby facilitating the common man.
“This is a historic initiative that will enable the common man to get the delivery of the smart registration certificate at their doorsteps”, said the Chief Minister while launching this service.
The Chief Minister said that this facility will provide a huge reprieve to the Punjabis desirous of buying new vehicles. He said that ever since assuming the charge of office the state government has taken several pro-people decisions to benefit every strata of society. Bhagwant Mann said that by empowering private dealers selling new vehicles to issue registration certificate, the state government aims at giving big relief to people as they will not have to stand in long queues for hours to get their new vehicles registered at the offices of Regional Transport Authorities and Sub Divisional Magistrates.
The Chief Minister said that apart from facilitating the common man by saving their time, money and energy, this step will also help in providing clean, transparent, effective and corruption-free administration to people. He said that the private dealers will provide this facility for new vehicle owners by login through their Aadhaar numbers. Bhagwant Mann said that after login, the dealer will upload data/documents of the new vehicle and verification will be conducted with owner’s Aadhaar number.
The Chief Minister said that for the registration of new vehicle, the fees and taxes will be paid online adding that registration number will be provided to the new vehicle owner on the spot. He further said that registration certificate will be approved at the level of dealer and the fitment of the high security registration plate (HSRP) will be done by the dealer. Bhagwant Mann said that the registration certificate can be downloaded from the link sent on the mobile phone of the vehicle owner, while the smart card of Registration Certificate will be directly sent to the address of the owner.
