In what could come as a good news for Delhiites who are planning to buy new vehicles, the transport department is going to deliver RC(Registration Certificate) at doorsteps.
According to a report by The Times of India, the Delhi government is planning to make the entire process of registration online and consumers will get their RCs by speed post.
Speaking to the newspaper, transport minister Kailash Gahlot said, "Currently, documents from the vehicle dealer are sent to the transport department after which the RC is prepared. We have now developed new software and the entire process will be online."
Vehicle owners will also be able to track the status of their registration through the new software. They will get regular updates by SMS.

Gahlot added that the initiative is a part of the transport department's endeavour to go online in a major way and reduce interface between the public and transport department, the report adds.
Amongst other documents that will be uploaded online will be trade certificates given to vehicle dealers and renewal of licences and permits such as All India Tourist Permit given to taxis.
It will also ease pressure off the transport department officials. "Every day 45,000 to 50,000 people visit these offices for various purposes," Gahlot said.
Last year, the Centre had decided to provide 'digital lockers' to safely protect documents including driving licence and vehicle registration certificate (RC), reported Business Line.
