The issuance of RC (certificate of registration) for all classes of motor vehicles has been blocked from Thursday in India. This is a result of not integrating the HSRP (High Security Registration Plate) with the ‘Vahan’ database. The National Informatics Centre (NIC) blocked access to the Transport Mission Mode Project’s pan-India application ‘Vahan’ for vehicle registration on a directive of the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
As a result of this drastic step, the RC cannot be issued for new vehicles in any state. The 3 states exempt from this are Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana because these 3 use their own software instead of ‘Vahan’. According to the previous directive, all classes of motor vehicles being registered had to be fitted with tamper-proof high security registration plate having many inbuilt security features by the 1st of April.
Automobile manufacturers had been entrusted by MoRTH with the task of issuing the “security licence plate, including the third registration mark”. At the local level, it is for the automobile dealer to place a mark of registration on such plates and affix them on all new vehicles. In Kerala, on an average, 3,000 new vehicles are registered daily at the 79 Regional Transport Offices and Sub-Regional Transport Offices. Even temporary permits cannot be issued as the NIC blocked the access to the ‘Vahan’ database.
