Punjab Excise, Taxation, and Narcotics Department has embraced digital transformation by introducing a groundbreaking solution for vehicle owners – the virtual registration card. This innovation represents a significant stride towards digitalization within the province, addressing the persistent challenge faced by new-vehicle owners who encountered fines from traffic police due to delayed issuance of physical registration cards.
In a bid to enhance user experience, citizens in Punjab can now conveniently access their virtual registration cards through the department’s website or a dedicated application. This user-friendly online platform ensures a seamless process for individuals completing the registration and ownership update procedures over the internet.
The process is as simple as following a provided link, entering the registration and chassis numbers, and presto – a digital card is generated. Once obtained, vehicle owners can easily download and store the virtual card on their mobile devices, eliminating the hassle of carrying a physical copy.
The Excise department’s initiative aims to alleviate the inconvenience faced by vehicle owners, shielding them from fines and legal troubles associated with missing physical registration cards. This marks another digital leap for Punjab vehicle owners, who have previously benefited from online issuance of learner permits, digital renewal of driving licenses, and online registration of vehicles and verification. The introduction of an e-driving license further streamlines legal compliance by providing a digital alternative for presentation to traffic wardens.
These progressive measures offer unparalleled convenience, allowing individuals to secure essential documents from the comfort of their homes. Vehicle owners in Punjab now have the added advantage of obtaining their virtual smart cards online, mirroring the information found on physical cards. This includes details such as the vehicle’s registration number, owner’s particulars, and vehicle specifications.
