Bhopal : Madhya Pradesh’s Dewas District Office Monday made available an online automobile tax payment facility that officials say is the first in the country.
“It is the first office not only in Madhya Pradesh but in the entire country which has the facility for cent percent online tax payment,” said the state’s Home and Transport Minister Himmat Singh Kothari while inaugurating the online facility for payment of motor vehicle tax and duty.
“Computer-based systems are being encouraged to ensure smooth functioning of various sections of Madhya Pradesh Transport Department. Through this sophisticated system based on computer and internet, vehicle dealers and owners would be able to remit motor vehicle tax and duty online,” the minister told IANS.
This system would not only expedite payment of taxes but would also save precious time, said Kothari, adding that the online tax payment facility would facilitate citizens as well as transport dealers.
They would not be required to visit the regional transport office or banks to register vehicles and pay taxes, he pointed out.
