With the objective of increasing commuter related convenience, some new motor vehicle rules are being implemented from today, which are as follows: –

New Traffic rules

  • From today, it will not be mandatory to keep a physical copy of the documents related to the vehicle like driving license (DL), registration certificate (RC), insurance documents, etc. Drivers can store them on their smartphones in central government recognized online platforms like DigiLocker and M-parivahan mobile applications and can show e-copy of the documents as and when demanded by the traffic police. 
  • Both these mobile applications are available on the Android Playstore and Apple's App Store.
