RC Delays Leave Telangana Vehicle Owners In A Fix
Many people in Telangana who bought new vehicles are still waiting for their registration certificates.
Some have waited almost two months.
The online systems used for vehicle registration have often stopped working properly.
This makes it harder for officials to process the documents.
Vehicle owners say showrooms send them to transport offices, while transport offices send them back to showrooms.
They also cannot easily see whether their certificate has been made or sent.
Some owners are waiting for their high-security number plates too.
A transport union is also questioning the registration fees charged by showrooms.
New vehicle owners in Telangana, especially Hyderabad, report waiting nearly two months for Registration Certificates.
Frequent disruptions to the Vahan and Sarathi portals are cited as a major cause of delays.
Owners say showrooms and Regional Transport Offices are directing them to contact each other.
The issue has continued since April while registration data is updated on the central portal.
Owners lack tracking information, while a transport union questions registration charges collected by dealers.

A vehicle owner affected by delays in receiving registration documents.
“I purchased my vehicle nearly two months ago, but I am yet to receive the RC and the High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP). Every time I visit the showroom, they ask me to approach the RTO. When I go to the RTO, I am asked to check with the dealer.”

“We can track almost every online delivery today, but there is no clarity on where the RC is. There is no sign, whether it has been dispatched, lying at the post office, or still pending with the Transport Department.”
