Gandhinagar, 29 November, 2010
In a bid to avert long queues at the RTO offices, the transport department has decided to home-deliver the driving licences.
Gujarat government has taken a decision to dispatch important RTO documents to applicants through speed post.
Presently an applicant has to physically come to RTO office to take delivery of important documents like license, permit and registration paper of vehicle.
But from 1st of December, the department will dispatch these documents to applicants through speed post courier at home.
The Transport Department would collect stamped self-addressed covers from applicants/owners of the vehicles while receiving applications. The covers containing the documents would be provided to the Postal Department.
Presently the department receives several reports from the police, that in most criminal cases the addresses given on drivers licences and car registrations are fake, therefore transport department has decided to henceforth have licences and vehicle registrations sent to the homes of applicants by speed post. The new system is expected to tackle the problem of fake addresses. The passport office too introduced the same system, whereby passports are delivered at homes by speed post.
The applicant will also be able to track the status of the license by entering the receipt number on a website.
Initially this service has been planned for Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Surat applicants. The service will then be extended to other areas of the state.
Government is not going to charge the dispatch cost initially.
About 9 lac applicants will get benefit of this mechanism.
