As the administration of the country cannot stay in lockdown for too long, government departments across sectors are opening one by one throughout the country.

The Regional Transport Offices (RTO) across the state of Tamil Nadu also reopened on Monday, nearly after six months of gap.

To ease the hindrances which might arise due to the closure of RTO offices during various lockdowns, the Centre had extended validity of all transport documents, expired between February 1 and September 30, till December 31.

This includes Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Vehicle Permit, Driving Licence, and Pollution Certificate.

Now, vehicle owners can approach the RTO for renewing their licences and other transport documents, said Transport Commissioner TS Jawahar.

“The Vahan 4.0 application, has been upgraded and now RTOs can decide on the number of appointments to be attended to in a day,” Jawahar added.
