Sarathi's Showroom Vehicle Registration Stalled
The government launched a new system called Sarathi to make it easier to get things done at the RTA (like getting a driver's license or registering a car).
One of the promises was to let people register their cars right at the showroom, but this hasn't happened.
Officials say there are no real plans to make it happen yet.
This causes problems because the RTA offices are already busy registering thousands of new cars every day, and they don't have enough staff.
Experts say if people could register cars at the showroom, it would make things easier for buyers, get rid of the need for helpers and reduce the work for RTA staff.
Sarathi portal launched in April aims to streamline RTA services.
Showroom-based vehicle registration, a key promise, is stalled.
Officials state the policy lacks concrete steps and paperwork.
RTA offices face chronic staff shortages amid high vehicle registrations.
Experts suggest showroom registration to alleviate buyer issues.
