Vehicle registration to go online: Vikhe-Patil

Making registration of new vehicles easy for customers, Maharashtra Government has decided to take the process online.

“We would soon introduce a system of registering newly purchased vehicles online to avoid the long wait at transport offices,” Minister for Transport, Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil told PTI here.

As per the existing system, the vehicle dealers approach the transport office for registration and the process takes a couple of days. With the new system, the dealers can register the vehicles online in a day and need not approach the transport offices, Vikhe-Patil said.

The minister said the facility of getting driving license online would be extended to other cities and towns across the state. The facility is currently available in 24 offices in big cities like Mumbai, Thane and Pune.

‘Learning’ licenses are given in a day and permanent ones are delivered at the door step within three days, he said.
