Now,details on vehicles at click of the mouse

“The website would be launched after its registration and approval from Government of India. Everything is under process but it may take time,” said Sudhir Kumar Srivastava,Transport Commissioner,UP.

“Apart from transport authorities,police and Income Tax officials may also benefit from the website as it would enable them to access all the data related to vehicles. But common man could be able to access only a few of the details,” said Srivastava.

“We have yet not decided which details would be made available to public,” he added.

NIC officials said that the details about the vehicles would be available on the website through State Data Centre of NIC set up in Lucknow where a ‘State Register of Vehicles’ has been made. These data get updated on a daily basis.

The NIC has deployed one staff member each at all the 73 Road Transport Offices across the state to ensure that all information regarding vehicles get updated daily. Registration of about 28.14 lakh private and commercial vehicles were computerised till April 8 and their data were stored in the ‘State Register of Vehicles’.

In the major towns like Lucknow,Meerut,Ghaziabad,registration of every commercial vehicle has been computerised and their details are available at data centre. While in other districts,details of commercial and private vehicles registered after 2005 were computerised. These details get updated automatically whenever the permit,validity or insurance are renewed.

“At present,we provide all the details of the vehicles to the police on a regular interval through hard disks. But after the launch of the website,they could access the updated details of any vehicle online,” said Dr Yogesh Kumar Singh,Technical Director,NIC.
