“Public are informed that validity of fitness, permit (all types), licence, registration or any other concerned document (s) related with motor vehicles whose extension of validity could not or not likely be granted due to lockdown and which had expired since February 1, 2020 or would expire by December 31, 2020, are treated to be valid till December 31, 2020,” reads a press statement issued by Transport Director Rajan Satardekar.
The decision comes following the order of the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways, taking into consideration the grim situation continuing due to spread of COVID-19 and need to contain the spread of disease.
Earlier, the extension was allowed till September 30 as transport offices were closed during the lockdown and people were facing problems to renew various documents.
