JAIPUR: Vehicle owners will no longer have to visit the transport office for ‘tax paid certificate’ (TPC) of vehicles as those can be obtained online by accessing the department’s portal.
This facility can be availed by selecting the ‘tax clearance certificate’ service option on ‘Parivahan’ portal and while it is applicable for every vehicle owner, officials claimed it would be particularly beneficial for commercial vehicle owners who have to pay tax every year.
Transport commissioner Mahendra Soni said, “Most of the vehicle owners are techno-friendly. With this, they can now get TPC by applying online from home, office or any other place. Online will save time and time in commuting to offices. This facility can also be availed by personally attending transport offices. This will bring more transparency in the work of the department.”
For availing the online service, the applicant has to go the transport department portal and apply for the certificate as well as select the RTO along with DTO. Following this the registration, chassis and engine number of the vehicle will have to be filled. On submission of the details, all information related to the vehicle will be visible. History of TPC will also be visible, in which if there is any kind of dues, a message will be sent to the owner’s mobile number to deposit it. In case of non-payment of dues, TPC will be approved by the transport officer through e-sign. After that the applicant can take a printout.
TPC is important because in case of non-payment of tax, a fine of Rs 500 and the outstanding tax amount is levied. With the online TPC facility, the vehicle owner can easily maintain it as a proof of deposit of tax.
