Telangana Transport Department eases permit transfer for auto-rickshaw replacement within ORR
The Telangana transport department has relaxed the rules for transferring ownership and city permits of old LPG/CNG auto-rickshaws within the Outer Ring Road (ORR) limits, allowing the process without requiring renewal of the vehicle’s Fitness Certificate (FC), provided the vehicle is scrapped after the transfer. The decision comes following representations from auto-rickshaw owners who said they purchase old city-permit vehicles only to transfer the permit to their names before scrapping the vehicles and replacing them with new LPG, CNG or electric auto-rickshaws. The department noted that under the existing CFST software, a valid Fitness Certificate was mandatory for registration and permit transfer, forcing applicants to renew the FC of vehicles that were never intended to be used on the road again.
