India Urges Vehicle Owners to Update Mobile Numbers

India Urges Vehicle Owners to Update Mobile Numbers

The Indian government has asked all vehicle owners and driving licence holders to update their mobile numbers on the Vahan and Sarathi portals.

These portals are used for vehicle-related services and driving licence services.

The government says that many people have old or inactive phone numbers registered, which can cause problems.

Updating the mobile number helps with logging in, getting important alerts, and making transactions easier.

It also makes the national transport database more secure and reliable.

The process is simple and can be done online.

Vehicle owners need to visit the Vahan portal, and driving licence holders need to visit the Sarathi portal to update their numbers.
