Types of Motor Vehicle Permits in India

A vehicle permit ensures that an individual can use the vehicle to travel in India as he or she claims to be its owner. The vehicles and permits are mainly for commercial purposes for carrying passengers and goods. It is important to find more details on this category of permit allowance in India before opting for it.

Details of motor vehicle permit

With this permit, you can take your motor vehicle from one place to another in India. However, the license under this category is of two types: local and national permits. The state government can approve both the permits, and one should carry the relevant document while traveling in the vehicle.

What are the permits one can get for a goods vehicle?

  • National permits - When a goods vehicle has a national permit, it can move from its home state to another. It can be applied for 4 states in continuation, including one's home state. Here, the vehicle should not be more than 12 years in age. Using a multi-axle vehicle should not be older than 15 years to get a permit. For this, one has to fill up Form 46 and Form 48.
  • Goods carriers - It is important for the vehicles meant to carry goods, and it is based on the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988. With this, the car can run in its home state.
  • Counter signature of permit of goods carrier - It is given in one state and is still valid in another, and it is mainly subject to the approval of the permit by the local authority. There is an exception when Delhi refuses to use the permit for running vehicles more than 7500 kilos, and these are not going on clean fuel.
