New Delhi [India], October 15 (ANI): Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot chaired a meeting on Tuesday with representatives from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) and the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) to address concerns regarding delays in vehicle registration, non-compliance at multi-brand outlets, and backlogs in high-security registration plate (HSRP) requests.
During the meeting, Gahlot emphasised, "Timely delivery of vehicle registration certificates and adherence to compliance standards are essential to ensuring a seamless experience for vehicle owners in Delhi. The Delhi government is committed to improving these processes, and any non-compliance will be dealt with strictly. We are working towards making our systems more efficient and accessible for all."
Gahlot also addressed the issue of delays in receiving registration certificates (RCs) for vehicles, despite dealers having access to self-registration facilities.
He expressed concern over reports of delays lasting several days, directing the Transport Department to take strict action against non-compliant dealers. He also suggested the possibility of conducting surprise inspections to ensure adherence to timelines, with dealers found in violation risking the cancellation of their trade certificates.
The Delhi Government introduced self-registration by dealers in March 2021, with the first RC issued on 17th March 2021. This initiative was rolled out across the city, and by September 2021, all self-registration dealers were authorised to print RCs.
The meeting also explored the possibility of replacing physical RCs with digital versions. The Transport Minister directed the department to evaluate the feasibility of implementing digital RCs in Delhi, aiming to further streamline the process and enhance convenience for residents.
FADA raised concerns about multi-brand outlets selling vehicles without valid trade certificates or necessary permissions from the Transport Department. In response, Gahlot instructed the department to rigorously check compliance at these outlets, with any non-compliant outlets facing a ban from operating.
Gahlot also engaged with SIAM regarding the backlog in processing HSRP requests for older vehicles.
SIAM assured that the delay would not exceed 3-4 days, noting that out of nearly 1.7 million bookings, 1.35 million had already been completed. The Transport Minister directed SIAM to explore further measures to reduce delays and improve convenience for vehicle owners in Delhi. (ANI)
