Telangana RTA resumes services across State

The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) has resumed its services by opening the online slot booking facility across all unit offices in 33 districts.

With the State government permitting essential departments in the State including RTA, all the 56 online services are now available with users being able to book slots for various transactions.

To ensure physical distancing, the RTA is allotting only 60 slots on most of the transactions such as learner’s license, permanent license, vehicle registration, permits, duplicate RC, transfer of ownership and others.

Usually, in the Greater Hyderabad region, each office sees around 300 to 450 learning license applicants daily. In the headquarters office at Khairatabad,



there would be close to 800 persons approaching for vehicle transfers like vehicle hypothecation, transfer of ownership and NOC for taking the vehicle to other States through four to five counters. In all the 11 unit offices in the city, there was a transaction of over 300 national permits to lorries, maxi cabs, DCM and other goods vehicles.

However, now all the services have been confined to 60 a day per office and the RTA will be functioning four hours a day i.e., from 10 am to 2 pm across the State.

The RTA on Friday registered a total of 2,602 transactions and earned a sum of Rs 2.21 crore. On resuming operations after permitted by the government, on Thursday, it had Rs 1.82 crore.
