Delhi: Debit cards now accepted for all transport-related online services
Moving towards complete automation and digitization, the Transport Department of the Delhi Government has made debit cards acceptable in all online transactions related to its services. Further, four Motor Licensing Offices (MLO) will also go fully online. Also, the process of procuring a Registration Certificate (RC) will be entirely online from 7 March, Transport Commissioner Varsha Joshi said. Here's more.
Debit cards accepted for all online transactions: Joshi
"Delighted to inform everyone that debit cards will now be accepted for all online transactions in Transport Deptt offices, thanks to our persistent efforts in coordinating with Finance Deptt/ RBI/ SBI to make online happen in the true sense," tweeted Varsha Joshi.
Four MLO offices go fully online
The four MLO offices -Janakpuri, Vasant Vihar, Mall Road, and IP Estate- will be fully online. Joshi said, "All applications and fees to be received online and all further intimations to be made on SMS." The Janakpuri and Vasant Vihar offices were already online and no offline transactions were accepted. The same has now been extended to Mall Road and IP Estate MLO offices.
Almost all transport-related services now online
All Transport Department zonal offices will process RC transfer cases only online. Applicants will be called personally if there is any discrepancy in signatures, Joshi said. Almost all Transport Department-related services are online; the only thing that wasn't online was RC transfer because it entailed physical card transfer, but it's also been made online. Applicants now have an option of sending it by post.
Automation, online services, a continuous process: Transport Commissioner
Transport Commissioner Varsha Joshi said: "Introducing automation and online services is a continuous process and it is our endeavor to make everything automated, online, and transparent in the near future."
