New Delhi: If you do not have the Pollution Control Certificate (PUC) of the vehicle while driving, then you can be challenged. In the national capital Delhi, a fine of up to Rs 10,000 can be charged for this. Also, apart from revoking the license, there may be a situation of going to jail. Now the Delhi Transport Department is going to intensify the campaign against drivers who do not have PUC certificates. Under this, notices are being sent to lakhs of people.
At present, most vehicle owners get the pollution certificate made offline. One has to stand in long lines for this, but now it is not needed. Now even sitting at home, you can get a PUC certificate made online. Any government-authorized PUC center or Regional Transport Office (RTO) can issue a PUC certificate online.
