Ladakh Administration waives off late fees for transport documents

Leh, June 02: LG Administration of Ladakh has extended the validity of various documents such as driving licence, registration certificate, vehicle fitness, vehicle permit etc. upto 30 June 2021 and also exempted the late fees on renewal of these documents until 30 June 2021, keeping in view the COVID -19 pandemic.

This has been done by the UT Administration to give succour to the public in general and transporters in particular in the difficult times of the Covid pandemic, when it has become difficult to get the documents renewed due to lockdown and also when transporters have lost considerable business.

The UT Administration has also waived off late fee for the renewal of regular permits for vehicles which could not renew their permits between 31 Oct 2019 to 1 Feb 2020 due to technical issues soon after the forming of UT of Ladakh. In addition, fees for temporary permits for the transporters of Ladakh has also been exempted for the FY 21-22 March.

“This decision of the administration to exempt late fee on renewal of documents and fees and issuance of temporary permit will benefit around 8000 beneficiaries in Ladakh,” informed the Regional Transport Officer, Ladakh, Tsering Paldan.
