Car Buyers Won’t Have to Wait Weeks for Number Plates Thanks to New Initiative

Yet another significant development comes from the Punjab Excise & Taxation Department in terms of providing convenience to the motorists. As per their latest Dealer Vehicle Registration System (DVRS) initiative, the Punjab government has granted a select number of trusted auto-dealerships the ability to issue vehicle registration and number plates to the customers on the spot.

This is great news for the new customers, since, as a part of this policy, the new customers shall not only get the license plates and the registration of their new vehicle on the spot but will also be able to avail the said service after office hours without having to wait in long queues for long hours. The said facility also ensures proper online data collection and maintenance.
