2. What Is Parivahan Sewa? • The online transport platform of India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). • Apply for a driving licence, register a vehicle, check RC details, and pay e-challans online. • Two main portals: Sarathi for licences, Vahan for vehicles. • This is an independent guide. Official services run on .gov.in portals.
3. Sarathi vs Vahan: Which Portal? • Sarathi (sarathi.parivahan.gov.in): driving licence services. • Learner licence, permanent DL, renewal, duplicate, test slots. • Vahan (vahan.parivahan.gov.in): vehicle and registration services. • RC, ownership transfer, road tax, fitness, permits, NOC, fancy numbers. • Rule: licence = Sarathi, vehicle = Vahan.
4. How to Check Application Status • Open Sarathi (licence) or Vahan (vehicle) and select your state. • Choose the Application Status option. • Enter your application number, date of birth, and captcha. • Stages: under process, approved, printed, dispatched, delivered. • No result? Check for typos and the right state. Records take 24-48 hours to update.
5. Driving Licence Services • Two stages: Learner's Licence first, then Permanent DL after 30 days. • Documents: Aadhaar/PAN/passport, address proof, photos, Form 1 (Form 1A for 40+). • Fees: learner Rs.150, driving test Rs.300, DL issue Rs.200 (central base). • Renewal and duplicate DL also done online on Sarathi. • Many states now allow the learner test online from home.
6. How to Check and Pay e-Challan • Open echallan.parivahan.gov.in. • Enter challan number, vehicle number, or DL number. • Review the violation and amount before paying. • Pay online and save the confirmation receipt. • Tip: some states offer early-payment discount windows.
7. Vehicle (RC) Services on Vahan • New registration and RC smart card with QR code. • RC renewal, duplicate RC, ownership transfer (Forms 29 and 30). • Change of address, hypothecation, NOC for interstate moves. • Check any vehicle's details by registration number before buying used. • Book fancy registration numbers through online bidding.

9. Avoid Scams: Stay Safe • Use only official .gov.in portals for applications and payments. • Never enter Aadhaar, OTP, or card details on an unofficial page. • Install only the official mParivahan app (NIC eGov developer). • Ignore calls or messages pressuring urgent payment via random links. • This guide never asks for personal details or payments.
