RTO Maharashtra - MH (Maharashtra Transport Office)

The state of Maharashtra(Mh) is very populous and prosperous. The capital of the state, Mumbai, is the financial hub of India. It is natural that millions of people have their own vehicles in such an urbanized and industrial state. Where there are vehicles, there is the Regional Transport Office(RTO). There are 50 RTO Maharashtra in different districts and cities, and they are headed by the Commissioner of Maharashtra transport.

The RTO Maharashtra is an arm of the government that is responsible for enforcing the rules and provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. For instance, if you purchase a vehicle, the dealer will provide you with a temporary registration. You will have to apply for a permanent registration at the RTO Maharashtra within 7 days. Your presence will be required at the RTO for this process, and you will have to submit documents like address proof, and vehicle details.

All the Maharashtra RTOs can be accessed through MH government website very conveniently.

  mParivahan

  One of the most difficult tasks of the Maharashtra transport and RTOs is to maintain a record of all vehicles in the state. Which requires a lot of resources and involves tons of paperwork.

  
  

  To simplify such resource-intensive work, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has introduced mParivahan. This is an app and site designed to digitize and streamline most of the vehicle-related work. MoRTH has designed this app to ensure interoperability and accuracy of information across the country. Their main objectives are to provide better and timely services and reduce the burden on the RTOs and citizens. Among other important services, it provides quick access to vehicle and Driving License information to various departments.

  eChallan

  eChallan is a comprehensive mobile based app for issuing a challan. It gets rid of paperwork, and a lot of back-end resource-intensive tasks in the Mh transport and RTOs.

  
  

  If you live in a remote village or town and receive a challan, you needed to visit the RTO in the district. This involves a lot of time and possible harassment by middlemen at the RTO. Digitization of many services of the RTO has solved a lot of these issues.

  
  

  When you violate a traffic rule, a traffic policeman will issue an echallan. The department will send the echallan as a message to your mobile and a physical copy to your address. Cameras in many parts of the city ensure that there is no harassment of drivers and only genuine violators are punished. You can pay the fine associated with the echallan by visiting the site mParivahan or their app.

  Mobile apps

  Park+ is an application for vehicle owners that addresses all of their daily discomforts. It is easier and more interactive with plenty of other services like booking parking slots, and applying and renewing FASTag.

  eChallan system has made it possible for citizens to pay anytime and from anywhere.

  If you wish to purchase a used car, you can enter the registration number of the car on the mParivahan app. You will be shown if there are challans or fines pending against the car. You can also check if all the documents are genuine and valid.

  These are only a few of the useful services provided by apps like mParivahan and Park+. They have relieved a lot of burden from citizens, especially in rural areas.
