44 digital transport services launched in J&K for seamless access

Jammu Tawi, Apr 6: Jammu and Kashmir has rolled out 44 online transport-related services under the e-Transport Mission Mode Project, aimed at improving efficiency and ensuring hassle-free access to services for the public.

Official data accessed revealed that the Union Territory is providing 20 services under Vahan and 24 services under Sarathi, enabling citizens to avail key transport facilities through digital platforms.

The initiative focuses on delivering faceless and contactless services, including vehicle registration, issuance of driving licences, tax payments and permit-related services, thereby reducing the need for physical visits to Regional Transport Offices (RTOs).

With integration of advanced technologies such as Aadhaar-based authentication, e-KYC, digital signatures and AI-based facial recognition, the system is expected to enhance transparency and streamline service delivery across Jammu and Kashmir.

The move is also aimed at promoting ease of living by ensuring better accessibility of transport services to citizens across the Union Territory.
