DVRS initiative is a part of SMU’s “Transport Sahulat Program”:Salman Sufi

Lahore: Special Monitoring Unit , Law and Order, Chief Minister’s Office with the collaboration of Excise and Taxation (E&T) has launched Dealer Vehicle Registration System DVRS (Point of sale vehicle registration). In order to make the process of registration convenient for the citizens, E&T department joined hands with NBP and PITB and signed the DVRS agreement.

Giving details, Senior Member SMU Salman Sufi told that through this system, the dealers will be able to deposit money to NBP electronically via a website portal, register vehicles on behalf of E&T department and issue license plates to customers at the dealership.

Salman Sufi said that this DVRS initiative is a part of SMU’s “Transport Sahulat Program” which is aimed at providing citizens with facilitation. He elaborated on the benefits of the project and said that as the registration of vehicles and license plates will be done at the point of sale, the tax payers will no longer have to go through a tedious and time consuming process or be exploited by unregistered and unregulated agents.

Furthermore, this system will ensure implementation of motor vehicle ordinance, he added. He said section 23 of MVO states that no vehicle can enter the road without being registered first. However, owners do not come for registration on the same day as the vehicle is bought. These unregistered vehicles are problematic as they can be cannot be tracked and can be used for crime, he added.

He said that dealers are currently in the process of obtaining licensees for DVRS after which they will get training on the DVRS software. After the training, DVRS project will officially be launched in Lahore, he added.

Salman Sufi said that this state of the art system will revolutionize the vehicle registration process.
