The Maharashtra Regional Transport Office has begun manual verification for vehicle transfer, No Objection Certificate and HPA applications after a surge in Aadhaar‑RC name mismatches.
The Maharashtra RTO has announced a shift to manual processing for vehicle transfer, No Objection Certificate (NOC) and HPA applications due to a rise in name mismatches between Aadhaar and RC documents.
The change comes after several applicants reported discrepancies between their Aadhaar card names and the names on their vehicle registration certificates, leading to delays and rejections.
Under the new procedure, applicants will need to submit physical copies of their documents and undergo face‑to‑face verification at the RTO office.
Officials say the manual process will help resolve inconsistencies quickly, but it may increase processing time for new applications.
