The central government has extended the validity of driving license, vehicle registration certificate, permit and fitness certificate. The guidelines of the Center are now being implemented in Chandigarh as well. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had recently issued new guidelines, in which the validity of driving license and RC has been extended till 31 December 2020. That is, your driving license or RC’s validity is also over, then you can apply to rebuild it by December 31 and till then the same documents will remain valid.
In fact, the government offices are also working with corona infection and less staff, due to which these instructions were given by the central government to all the states and union territories. It states that these rules should be implemented. Even before this, the Central Government has increased the validity of driving license and documents required for the rest of the vehicles. In the instructions issued in the month of June, the validity of the documents was given by the government till September 30. Again, relief has been provided for the people.
Relief granted under Motor Vehicle Act
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has extended the validity date of documents under the Motor Vehicle Act 1988 and Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989 to 31 December 2020. Actually, even after the lockdown and driving license of many people and the registration certificate of the vehicle could not be renewed, even in government offices, due to the corona, 50 employees still worked with it. However, work is now being done with the entire staff. At the same time, these instructions are beneficial for many people who have become corona positive or have been quarantine elsewhere.
