With the passage of the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, 2019, in the Parliament, fees for registration of vehicles at regional transport offices (RTO) across the country have been increased multiple folds.
The bill was passed on July 31, 2019.
Under Pune RTO, the vehicle registration fees for all the vehicles have increased four-fold.
Sanjeev Bhor, deputy RTO officer, Pune, said, “While the bill is yet to be transmuted into law, but the registration fees for vehicles will increase significantly. It is too early to talk about the repercussions on the residents and transport vehicle operators, however, every citizen will now have to abide by these new rules and regulations.”
