MoRTH's own portal for the National Permit for goods carriages, where a transporter pays the National Permit authorisation fee online for each vehicle that runs across states.

  • Each goods vehicle running across states needs its own National Permit authorisation.
  • The authorisation fee is paid online on this portal, per vehicle.
  • State permits for local routes are issued by your state transport department instead.
