Hefty fines from The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, 2019 have been making motorists sleepless for the past few days. And it is just a usual affair to forget carrying valid documents and papers relevant to your vehicle. But that doesn’t mean you have to pay a hefty fine for that.
Apps like DigiLocker and mParivahan allow you to store and show digital documents to the traffic cops whenever needed. And with the digital document, we don’t mean a photo of the documents or a scanned copy of insurance, driving license or RC.
