Kanak News Odisha reports that roughly two million vehicle RCs could be exposed to fraud or misuse, prompting calls for immediate safeguards.
Kanak News Odisha has highlighted a looming threat to approximately 20 lakh vehicle registration certificates (RCs) across the country. The report warns that these documents may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, raising concerns about potential fraud and identity misuse.
The exposure could allow malicious actors to fabricate counterfeit RCs, manipulate vehicle ownership records, or engage in illegal resale of vehicles. Such activities would not only undermine road safety but also erode public confidence in the motor vehicle registration system.
Transport authorities have been urged to initiate immediate security audits and to advise vehicle owners to verify their RC details through official channels. Experts recommend keeping digital copies secure, reporting any discrepancies promptly, and awaiting further directives from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
