Changes in national permit regime soon to ease movement of tourist vehicles

This motive has culminated into a new set of rules, which henceforth will be known as, 'All India Tourist Vehicles Authorization and Permit Rules, 2020'

To allow tourist passenger vehicles to move seamlessly across the country, a new scheme is being formulated under which any tourist vehicle operator may apply online for an all-India tourist authorisation permit, the government said on Friday.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has issued a notification for an amendment to national permit regime under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 for promoting tourism across the country.

"The ministry is in the pursuit of providing seamless movement to the tourist passenger vehicles after the success of goods carriage vehicle under national permit regime," it said in a statement.
