Transport services in the State under the Commerce and Transport Department has made headway in the 5-T frame. This was evident from a 5-T implementation review made by Chief Secretary Asit Tripathy on Tuesday.
Tripathy directed to put more and more services in online mode and reduce footfalls in the RTO offices. It was decided that facilities like online application for driving licence (DL), registration certificate (RC), ownership transfer and revenue collection would be extended to common service centres (CSCs) operating in different parts of the State. A target was set to complete the process by December 2019.
Commerce & Transport Secretary G Srinivas said, "Through online DL system, any eligible applicant can apply either for learners' licence (LL) or DL from any place to any RTO."
It was decided that this facility would be extended to the CSCs by the first week of December. Service charges for LL or DL would be collected online which would reduce the queues at the RTO offices. The system would also have facility for online uploading of documents. Srinivas said that around 12 lakh citizens would be benefited by this service.
The meeting further decided to extend online application system for RC to the CSCs. This would include the services like endorsement and cancellation of hypothecation, change of address, fitness certificates and renewal of RC. Slot booking, payment of fees and document uploading for these services would be done online. Around 10 lakh citizens would be benefited by this system and they would not be required to run to the RTO offices. The application for transfer of ownership of the vehicles including payment of fees would also be made online through the system.
Srinivas further appraised that all PARIVAHAN services have been provided with the option for online payment. Currently, more than 65% of revenue collection is being received through the online mode. The Chief Secretary directed to scale it up to 90% by March 31, 2020. This would benefit around 10 lakh people who are now required to run to the RTO office for payment of tax and fees.
The review showed that the department collected revenue of about Rs 1,004 crore up to October, 2019 against a total collection of Rs 1,001 crore during the same period of the last fiscal year. About 80% of the revenue was collected from registration and road tax of the new vehicles.
