In a major relief for motorists, the Maharashtra government’s transport department has launched 'faceless RTOs' scheme to provide people six services related to the sector online.

State Transport Minister Anil Parab launched the services at RTO head office in Mumbai, along with transport commissioner Avinash Dhakne.

During the launch event, Anil Parab said that the department has been providing 118 different services to citizens, of which 80 are online and now six have been added.

With this, renewal of licenses, change of address and a few more services is now available digitally in Maharashtra. Citizens do not need to visit RTO offices for secondary registration certificates, no objection certificate, change of address on Registration Certificate, Renewal of Driving License, Change of Address on License and even Renewal of License.

Explaining about the procedure, Minister of state for transport, home and information technology Satej Patil noted that to avail the services on the Faceless platform, the applicant needs to have an Aadhar number linked with her/his mobile number. The applicant will have to enroll himself through Aadhar number verification using OTP sent on the registered mobile number. Only after the due verification related to the other personal information about the applicant from the Aadhar portal, the application will be proceeded.

Once the personal details of the applicant, such as name, address, date of birth and mobile number are verified, the six important services will be made available online. The applicants will not have to come to RTOs for the same. They can make the online application sitting at home saving crucial time. The licenses or registration certificates will be sent to the applicant by post. This will also help in saving valuable paper, besides time, as there will be no need to take copies of the documents.

The six documents being provided on Faceless platform are – Secondary Registration Certificate, No Objection Certificate, Change of Address on Registration Certificate, Renewal of Driving License, Change of Address on License and Renewal of License. The Faceless platform will help to save the papers required for 18 to 20 lakh applications annually.

Moreover, he spoke about the rise in the number of accidents in Maharashtra in the first three months of 2022 compared to the corresponding period last year. He attributed the spike to "fewer straight roads" and "rash driving on highways".

This year, Maharashtra witnessed 11,900 accidents just between January to March, as compared to 29,493 accidents in all of 2021 and 24,971 accidents through 2020.
