Panchkula has been chosen as the first district in Haryana where Registration Certificates (RC) for new vehicles and high security registration plates would be made available directly at the dealer point.
“Regional Transport Authority, Panchkula would be the first such authority in the state to provide this facility,” said a spokesman of the Transport Department.
There would be standardized fees across the entire state and single window payment system would be adopted for registration for vehicles. This would include a Rs 10 fee for the file cover, the notified government fees as well as District Information Technology Society (DITS) service charge. Apart from this, fees for tests, smart cards and road taxes would be levied where applicable, he said.
The spokesman said that the applicants have been encouraged to apply well in time, so as to avoid any penalties for delayed applications.
He said that a standardized file cover for Rs 10 would be provided across all authorities in the state by May 1, 2017. Applicants have been encouraged to apply online for their learners and driving licenses. Online applications would have to be printed and brought to the e-disha centre for the completion of the application process by the applicant.
All RCs and driving licenses would now be provided in a smart card format and all licenses would be delivered by the Department of Post. No medical test would be required for learners’ licenses, for the applicants below the age of 50. And, dual screens would be placed to allow citizens to scrutinize their application forms at the e-disha centre, to ensure that no mistake is made, said the spokesman.
The e-Disha Panchkula and Kalka are incorporating these aspects of the Standardized Operating Procedures. The Regional Transport Authority would also be covered through this, he added.
