Recent changes to Punjab’s transport portal have made it harder for people in Amritsar to buy or sell vehicles, with users reporting delays and procedural hurdles.
The Punjab Transport Department has rolled out an updated version of its online portal that handles vehicle registration, transfer and related services. The redesign, intended to streamline procedures, was launched across the state and became active for users in Amritsar.
Within days of the launch, several vehicle owners and dealers in Amritsar reported that the new interface was difficult to navigate. Common complaints include longer waiting times for document verification, frequent error messages during application submission, and unclear instructions for fee payment.
Transport officials acknowledged the feedback and said they are monitoring the situation closely. A spokesperson indicated that technical glitches are being addressed and that a help‑desk has been set up to assist affected users.
In the meantime, buyers and sellers are advised to keep copies of all transaction documents, verify fee details before payment, and contact the dedicated support line for any portal‑related issues.
