Drivers Licence And Registration Soft Copies To Be Valid Soon
Highlights
- Government of India to introduce new DigiLocker system
- The DigiLocker system will maintain a centralised registry of vehicles
- Motorist might get to drive with just a soft copy of the driving licence
The new service will help the government maintain a centralised registry of vehicles that can be accessed from anywhere in the country. The documents can be kept in the secured DigiLocker setup and can be verified by the traffic police and other law enforcement agencies as and when there is a check-post. This will also make it easier for Police forces to issue a fine to drivers or apply penalty points to their driving licences when found breaking the law.
The DigiLocker system will have a smartphone app that will display all the information that the individual has stored. The officials will also have an app based setup that will be able to verify these documents from a national registry. The DigiLocker setup will be particularly helpful for Telangana and Delhi government as they have already started to issue e-challans to violating motorists.
Although this will be a good move towards maintaining a national record of automobiles and having a centralised system towards catching violators, it will be interesting to see how police officials in various parts of the country will react to such technology. Most of the time, when drivers are caught violating a law, they get away with a minor infraction and a bribe and this DiGiLocker setup could actually curb down heavily on those practices.
