Not only this, if you are caught driving without PUC, you can also be fined heavily. This fine can be up to Rs 10,000 and in some cases, jail or other action can also be taken.

Insurance claim may also be rejected

The government has given the responsibility to the Transport Department, Traffic Police, Municipal Corporation and other agencies to strictly implement this rule. These teams will continuously investigate and if needed, can issue challan on the spot. These investigations will continue throughout the year. If your PUC certificate has expired, you may face delays or your insurance claim may even be rejected.

What is PUC certificate?

PUC certificate is a document which tells how much pollution your vehicle is causing. If the vehicle pollutes more than the prescribed limit, it gets a new certificate only after it is repaired. Therefore, it is important for every vehicle owner to get PUC done from time to time, otherwise they may have to face problems like not getting fuel and heavy fines.

How can it be made?

To get PUC certificate made, you will have to take your vehicle to the authorized emission testing center or PUC center located at the petrol pump. Here the operator will measure the emission level by installing a testing device in the exhaust pipe of the vehicle. If your vehicle meets the pollution standards, you will also be given a digital PUC certificate from the Centre. For this you will have to deposit Rs 60 to Rs 100.

PUC cannot be made online because for this it is mandatory to undergo physical emission test of the vehicle. However, after passing the test, you can download and print the PUC certificate online.
