Mandatory certificates for vehicles

Please issue instructions for all mandatory certificates for all existing vehicles including busses, trucks, taxis, and personal cars and even motorcycles. But, whose Certificate will be valid ? RTO, RWO or Notary Public, Self-Declaration Certificate. And Govt. should fix a price too for issuing a certificate And what if a bogus certificate? It is requested that all the instructions / penalties should be issued in one go and not in piecemeal. As far as I know, this type of certificate is already required for buying a vehicle in Delhi..

Raj

A welcome move !

This should be a welcome move. Even those who already have cars or any other vehicle without any parking space, and they are using public space for parking, should pay a parking fee. This practice is prevalent in many countries.
