General provision as to applications for permits
AI Assist
Summary
Make the permit application to the Regional Transport Authority of the region where the vehicle will be used. If use spans two or more regions in the same State, apply to the RTA of the region through which the major part of the route runs, or if the parts are about equal, to the RTA where the vehicle will be kept. If use spans regions in different States, apply to the RTA where the applicant resides or has principal place of business, unless the State Government notifies that such applications should be made to the State Transport Authority.
Example
Priya plans to run a delivery van across two regions inside the same State. Most of her route lies in Region A, so she must apply to the Regional Transport Authority of Region A for the permit.
