1. Acceptance of Driving Licence, Registration Certificate or other

documents presented through DigiLocker or mParivahan platform

2. The DigiLocker platform of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology,

Government of India and the mParivahan mobile app of this Ministry has the facility to

pull a citizen's Driving Licence or the Registration Certificate or any other certificate in

an electronic form. These electronic records available on DigiLocker or mParivahan are

deemed to be legally recognised at par with the original documents as per the provisions

of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

3. As per the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, and the Central Motor

Vehicles Rules 1989, the owner / driver has to produce the documents viz. licence or

certificate of registration etc. to the authority on demand.

4. The data related to the insurance of new vehicles and renewal of insurance of

vehicles is also being uploaded by the Insurance Information Board (liB) on the VAHAN

database on a daily basis now and the same is reflected on the mParivahan / eChallan

app of the Ministry. If the vehicle registration details on the mParivahan / eChallan app

contain the details of the policy which is in-force, then the requirement of a physical

copy of the insurance certificate is also not to be enforced.

5. In light of the provisions of the Information Technology Act 2000, it is requested

to consider the documents available in the 'electronic form' in the DigiLocker platform or the mParivahan mobile app as valid under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 and be treated at par with the certificates issued by the transport authorities.

under section 9 of Information Technology act 2000

Sections 6, 7 and 8 not to confer right to insist document should be accepted in electronic form.

Nothing contained in sections 6, 7 and 8 shall confer a right upon any person to insist that any

Ministry or Department of the Central Government or the State Government or any authority or body es tablished by or under any law or controlled or funded by the Central or State Government should accept, issue, create, retain and preserve any document in the form of electronic records or effect any monetary transaction in the electronic form.

For a long time, the government has argued that documents kept in officially recognised digital apps like DigiLocker and mParivahan are valid, i.e., they can be shown to traffic police officers and accepted. Nonetheless, there is still uncertainty around the apps' legality. In fact, the government changed the Central Motor Vehicles Rules as needed a year or so ago to make it lawful to store car records in these applications, but we assume the lack of effective communication at the time led to confusion that continues to this day.

Yet as of late, the government has published a thorough standard operating procedure (SOP) for the acceptance of driving licenses, registration certificates, and other pertinent papers submitted electronically.
