New system will reduce involvement of brokers and extra charges

Buyers of second-hand vehicles in the state will be relieved from the hassle of RTO office visits

Raipur TNINS 

In Chhattisgarh, there is no longer a need to go to an RTO office to buy or sell second-hand vehicles. The Transport Department has started a new process called Aadhaar authentication, under which buyers and sellers can go to their nearest transport service center and easily transfer vehicle ownership. The biggest advantage of this system is that it will reduce the involvement of brokers in the process. Official said that the system is now ready and people will get benefitted directly from it. An additional fee of Rs 100 will have to be paid to the transport service center.

Transport Commissioner Shri Dipanshu Kabra said that the Transport Department has launched a new system called "Aadhaar Authentication" from Monday. With the commencement of this system, people buying and selling second-hand vehicles will now be able to go to nearby transport service centers and easily transfer vehicle ownership.

According to the RTO data, more than two lakh second-hand vehicles are bought and sold in the state every year, and transferring their registration certificates can be a complicated process. Until the ownership of the vehicle is transferred in the name of the buyer, they are not considered the legal owner of the vehicle. Similarly, if a used vehicle is sold and an accident or crime occurs involving that vehicle, action is taken against the person registered in the RC book. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the registration of a used car to the buyer's name, which requires filling out an online form and visiting the RTO office in person along with the vehicle for verification.

All you need to know about the new system

Nearly 500 service centers have been opened by the transport department across the state, including approximately 50 centers in the Raipur district. Currently, online forms are being filled out for transportation-related tasks here. The department is now introducing Aadhaar authentication at these service centers. The buyer/seller will need to provide their Aadhaar number at the service center, where an employee will check the vehicle number and owner's name in the department's software. Following this, the buyer/seller's fingerprint will be taken using an Aadhaar authentication device. Officials said that this process is being simplified so that vehicle owners do not have to make multiple visits to the office.

Revised Fees

Currently, different charges apply for transferring vehicle ownership in different categories at government offices, with that of two-wheelers at Rs 400, light motor vehicles at Rs 550, and three-wheelers at Rs 750. However, people often end up paying extra charges to agents. Now, the same work can be done at service centers with an additional charge of Rs 100, which will save both time and money for people.

As every household in the village had access to water, the villagers' faces were beaming with joy.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel and the instructions of Public Health Engineering Minister Guru Rudrakumar, pure drinking water is being supplied to the residences of the protected special backward Pando tribe of the state. Durgapur, a village dominated by the Pando tribe, is a dependent village of Umjhar Gram Panchayat within the Baikunthpur development block of Koriya district. This area is home to 47 Panda tribe families. It was a challenge to ensure that everyone in Durgapur village, which reflects the lifestyle of forest dwellers, had access to quality drinking water under the Jal Jeevan Mission.

Meanwhile, Officials from the Public Health Engineering Department stated that the Jal Jeevan Mission is being better implemented in the district under the supervision of Collector Mr. Vinay Kumar Langeh. Prior to this, happiness is among the locals as a result of the Jal Jeevan Mission formulating an action plan to bring quality pure drinking water to every family in Durgapur. People from the backward Pando tribe, in particular, have expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel for providing clean drinking water.

It should be emphasized that women are trained as 'Jal Vahini' under the Jal Jeevan Mission to raise awareness among the villages. Drinking water is tested under Jal Jeevan Mission, according to Jal Vahini Sushri Ramkumari Sarathi, and information about water quality is received. According to the government, work is being done through Jal Jeevan Mission to deliver water through domestic taps to 47 designated houses in Khalpara and Ebalpara of Durgapur at a cost of Rs 35.78 lakh. The Jal Jeevan Mission Yojana provides a sufficient quantity of pure drinking water by making tap water reach every household; residents would no longer have to trek for clean drinking water.
