This will be of particular benefit to the differently-abled citizens. A statement from the Ministry said," It had come to the notice of the Ministry that the ownership details are not properly reflected under the ownership in the various forms under CMVR required for registration of the Motor Vehicles. This makes it difficult for such citizens to properly avail various benefits available under Government Schemes. In view of this, it has amended the Form 20 of the CMVR 1989 to capture detailed ownership type".
