By eliminating the paper-based VRCs that were vulnerable to fraud, loss, duplication, etc., the card-based VRCs / DLs were developed to make life easier for the Road Transport Department, the government, and—most importantly—the citizen.The following information is printed on the VRCs:
- Ownership details
- Embedded Optical Strip / Microprocessor Chip
The Vehicle Registration Certificate card (VRC) securely stores essential data related to the vehicle, including its history, registration details, and ownership information. The system enables local Police / Dept officials to obtain immediate access to information pertaining to drivers and their vehicles. By utilizing a portable reader terminal, any police or road transport officer can easily retrieve data regarding the vehicle, its owner, and pollution control certificate records. Since all information stored on the card is concurrently available in a centralized database managed by the State Transport Department, the legal status of a registered vehicle can be verified anytime.
Benefits for Society and the Government:
- Faster issuance of vehicle registration certificates.
- Speed recovery of traffic violation fines, taxes and registration fees.
- Preventing illegal purchase of vehicles.
- Reduced processing time and paperwork results in cost savings.
- Handling the Dept processes more efficiently at state borders.
- Address and name of the holder
- Date of birth
- Blood type of the owner
- Class of vehicle
- A picture of the licence holder
- The date of issue and expiry of the licence
- Signature of the owner
The driving licence has a built-in chip that permits a particular person to drive a specific type of vehicle. The microprocessor within the chip stores the image of the holder, blood group, and other driving credentials and also encodes the fingerprint and facial image of the driver securely. Additionally, the chip contains a record of the fines levied on the driver, enabling the authorities to monitor the behavior of the driver on the roads and also allows checking whether the penalties are paid in time.
Terasoft has a pool-proof system to carry out the business operations of the department with a professionally organized maintenance and logistics system combining with our expertise and proven experience over the years in the Transport segment to ensure maximum efficiency of the process. The escalation process and the timely feedback will further strengthen the operations to run smoothly in an online environment.
