The “Parivahan Sewa” portal is an online platform developed by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in India. It serves as a comprehensive digital service for various transport-related activities and services.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has been facilitating the conveyance of the citizens by providing various online services thus preventing them from all hassles and queues. Parivahan is a far-reaching e-governance application extending its services related to vehicle registration, driving licenses and other e-services to various states of India.
The Transport Department of the Rajasthan Government has established an online portal to enable its citizens to access various services. There are many check posts in the inter-state borders, which collects the tax for various vehicles that also includes the vehicles from other states.
