The Maharashtra government on June 2 launched ’faceless Regional Transport Offices (RTOs)’ to help citizens make better use of facilities related to this sector.
Driving licenses will be available to people
The agreement will make driver’s licenses and several other services available to people who do not have to physically patrol the RTO, said Satej Patil, the Minister of Transport, who launched the initiative.
Service will lead to save paper
These services, which will be available with immediate effect, will help save paper, he said that people would need to have their Aadhaar number linked to their mobile phones to be part of the ’Faceless RTO’ scheme.
Applicants must be registered to Aadhar no.
“Applicants must register themselves through verification of their Aadhar number using the OTP sent to their registered mobile number. After validation by the Aadhar portal, the application will be processed. Services will be available online. Applicants do not have to come to the RTO for the same thing, “he said.
Can apply online
“People can apply online sitting at home and save crucial time. Licences or registration certificates will be sent to the applicant by post. This will also help in saving valuable paper, besides time, as there will be no need to take copies of documents,” the minister added.
Six documents will be provided
The six documents that will be provided are Secondary Registration Certificate, No Objection Certificate, Change of Address on Registration Certificate, Renewal of Driving Licence, Change of Address on
Licence and Renewal of Licence, he said.
This faceless platform will save paper since 18-20 lakh applications are received annually, and will also bring about transparency, pace and provide an environment-friendly interface.
