Why Parivahan Sewa Matters for Uttar Pradesh Residents in 2025
Uttar Pradesh, with over 23 crore population and 3+ crore registered vehicles, sees massive demand for transport services. Parivahan Sewa has reduced RTO visits by 80% nationwide, but UP-specific challenges like high fancy number bids (often crossing ₹5-10 lakh for 0001) and slot booking delays in peak seasons persist.
Key 2025 updates:
- Aadhaar-linked verification mandatory for faster processing.
- Digital DL/RC via mParivahan app now legally valid everywhere.
- Enhanced e-auction transparency for fancy numbers.
- Late fees hiked for delayed renewals to promote timely compliance.
