It will soon be possible for the vehicle owners to appoint a nominee for their vehicles. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has invited suggestions and comments from the public and all stakeholders on the proposed amendment to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 to facilitate the owner of the vehicle for nominating a person in the Registration Certificate, RC. The draft notification has been published by the Ministry.
Nomination facility is proposed to be incorporated at the time of registration of the vehicles. This would help the motor vehicle to be registered or transferred in the name of the nominee, in case of the death of the owner of the vehicle. The process is otherwise cumbersome and non-uniform across the country.
Public Objections and suggestions to the draft rules, if any, may be sent to the Joint Secretary (MVL), email: [email protected] , Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Transport Bhawan, Parliament Street, New Delhi-110 001 within 30 days of date of notification.
