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 websites.
These websites are used for services like registering vehicles, renewing licences, and more.
The government wants everyone to have the correct mobile number so they can get important messages and use the websites without problems.
If the mobile number is old or wrong, people might not be able to log in or get alerts about their vehicles or licences.
The government has given easy steps to update the mobile number on both websites.
It's important to do this quickly to avoid any issues in the future.
The Indian government has advised vehicle owners and driving licence holders to update their mobile numbers on the Vahan and Sarathi portals.
Updating the mobile number is crucial for OTP-based authentication and receiving important notifications.
