Sarathi Parivahan Sewa

The Parivahan Sewa Portal, created by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, makes transport-related services easier to access across India. It offers online services like vehicle registration, driving licenses, and other transport documents.

This helps people get things done without having to visit the Regional Transport Office (RTO) in person, making the process more transparent and efficient.
