The rules applied
Every rule, its source and the date we checked it
| Calculator | Rule applied | Source | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fitness due date | A transport vehicle's fitness certificate is valid for two years when new, renewable every two years until the vehicle is eight years old, and every year after that (CMVR rule 62). | Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, rule 62 | 12 Nov 2026 |
| Challan fine lookup | Penalties are the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 amounts as amended by the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019. States can compound offences at different amounts, so the challan you receive may differ. | Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, as amended in 2019 | 12 Nov 2026 |
| Cost of a lapse | Yearly cost = lapses a year × (average fine + days off road per lapse × revenue per truck per day). PRACHSO cost = Growth price × vehicles × 12 months, GST extra. | Your own fleet numbers and PRACHSO's published Growth price | 12 Nov 2026 |
| PUC due date | PUC validity depends on the vehicle and emission norm: commonly one year for BS-IV and BS-VI vehicles and six months for others (CMVR rule 115). The validity printed on your certificate is what counts. | Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, rule 115 | 12 Nov 2026 |
| Road tax due date | Road tax for goods vehicles is charged under each state's motor vehicles taxation act, commonly paid quarterly, half-yearly or annually in advance. The next payment falls due when the current paid-up period ends. States set their own grace periods and penalties. | State motor vehicles taxation acts | 12 Nov 2026 |
About these calculators
Are the results legal advice?
No. Each calculator applies the rule stated on its page, from the Motor Vehicles Act or the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. Your certificate, the VAHAN record and your state's notification are what count if they differ.
How current are the rules?
Every calculator shows the date it was last checked. All five were last checked on 12 Nov 2026. Rules change by MoRTH notification and state budget, and we re-check after each.
Do I need an account?
No. The calculators run in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.
Can I run these for every truck at once?
That is what PRACHSO does: it reads every truck's dates from VAHAN and every driver's licence from SARATHI, applies the same rules, and reminds the right person on WhatsApp before each date.
Run the rules on every truck, every day.
PRACHSO applies the same rules to every truck and driver in your fleet, and sends WhatsApp reminders 30, 15, 7 and 1 days before each date.
