General conditions attaching to all permits
AI Assist
Summary
Every motor permit carries continuing conditions: the vehicle must have a valid certificate of fitness and be properly maintained, obey the statutory speed limits, follow any notified fares or freight, not be driven where or by whom the law forbids, observe driver working‑hour limits and other duties applying to permit-holders, and display the operator's name and address in bold on both sides.
Example
Priya runs a city taxi under a permit. During an inspection the taxi's certificate of fitness is found expired and the operator name is not painted on the sides. That breaches these permit conditions, so authorities can take action against the permit and vehicle, for example fines, suspension or cancellation under the Act.
