So far such services are being provided through the state-citizen portals and it is the first time that these are being launched centrally.

“They can look into the national database of found, unidentified persons/bodies and unclaimed vehicles,” Pawar added.

“This will benefit relatives of missing persons and save them from running around pillar to post,” he added.

“Moreover, through Generate Vehicle NOC service the citizens will also be able to ascertain the status of a vehicle before its second-hand purchase,” he said.

“The service will help the persons to know whether a second-hand vehicle is suspicious or clean from police records,” Pawar reiterated.

“This search could be made against national database based on vehicle’s details; one can generate and download the relevant NOC, required by the RTO before the transfer of ownership,” he reiterated.
