Taxi Permit: If you are thinking of turning your car into a taxi, then wait! Do you know that it is necessary to have a mandatory device in your car for a taxi permit? If not, then this information is very useful for you. Your car without vehicle location tracking device (VLTD) and panic button will not get commercial registration. That is, if this device is not installed, then there will be no taxi permit.
When and why did this rule come?
After the Nirbhaya incident, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways made this rule in April 2018 keeping in mind the safety of women. It was made mandatory to install VLTD and panic buttons in all commercial vehicles registered from January 2019.
Panic button required in taxi
It is necessary to have a red panic button in at least two places in the taxi. SOS is written on the panic button. Passengers can suppress them in any emergency, so that their information will reach the nearest police station and get them immediately help.
