Therefore it’s very important that the vehicle is reflected on VAHAN and now pollution clearance and insurance details are also reflected on VAHAN.
He said that vehicles not reflecting in VAHAN may lead to issues related to insurance, pollution clearance and challaning.
State Transport Commissioner said that now a person has no need to visit RTA or SDM office for this service, commonly known as BACKLOG of vehicle as the access of the staff to the system to generate backlog entry has been blocked, it is now in the hands of the public especially during the COVID-19 pandemic this exercise will help in reducing movement of the public and will also make the whole process of registration of vehicle on VAHAN more efficient and transparent.
