Check PUC certificate validity without OTP, here’s how
The Story in Brief
Vehicle owners can now check the validity of their Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate online without needing an OTP. The process requires only the vehicle registration number and the last five digits of the chassis and engine numbers.
To check the status, visit the official transport department portal at https://puc.parivahan.gov.in/puc/views/PucCertificate.xhtml. On the homepage, click the 'PUCC' option under Online Services, then enter the vehicle number and the last five digits of the chassis and engine numbers.
Having a valid PUC certificate is mandatory, and driving without one can attract a fine of up to Rs 10,000. The online check helps owners avoid missing the expiry date of their certificate.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The portal eliminates the need for an OTP or visiting a service centre, making it convenient for vehicle owners to stay compliant. The only unresolved issue is that owners must know their chassis and engine numbers, which may not be readily available to everyone. The next step for a user is to visit the portal and enter the required details to check their certificate status.
