Assam state gives a one-time program for vehicle fitness certificates

15 Jul 2022 CW Team

The Assam government unveiled a one-time settlement plan for commercial vehicles that were impacted by the pandemic to renew their fitness certificates at a lower late fine charge.

In a notification, Transport Secretary Adil Khan grants extra time to vehicle owners who were unable to renew their fitness certifications on time due to lockdown and were unable to operate their cars.

According to a statement from the government, the order will be in effect starting on July 15 and will last for three months, ending on October 15.

A three-wheeler transport vehicle owner will now pay Rs 10 per day, Rs 15 for a commercial tractor, Rs 20 for four-wheelers, and Rs 25 per day for all large commercial, transport, and other vehicles as late fees, as opposed to the Rs 50 charged per day for failing to get a fitness certificate.
