For the last few days, such videos have been circulating on social media in which a person uses his mobile to stop an e-rickshaw moving on the middle of the road. The driver stands there confused and unable to understand what happened. There is a Chinese app behind these videos, named BAT-BMS. Now the government has come into action in this whole matter.

It has been told by the government that two apps related to remote stopping of e-rickshaw have been removed. The government has also made it clear that this issue will be raised with the companies running the app stores. The aim is to ensure that such harmful apps do not come to the store in the future, that is, the government is preparing not only to remove the app but also to close the way in future.

Connection of Chinese app and Chinese battery

BAT-BMS app was created by Chinese company Shenzhen Greenergy Technology to view information like battery charging, temperature and voltage, but the BMS of Chinese lithium batteries installed in many cheap e-rickshaws sold in India does not have password or security. In such a situation, the Bluetooth of the battery can connect to any phone at a distance of 10 to 15 meters. The battery shutdown feature in the app, which was designed to be used during repairs, is now misused by some people to disconnect the power of the e-rickshaw.

Every e-rickshaw is not at risk

This fear does not apply to every e-rickshaw. The old e-rickshaws which run on lead-acid batteries do not have Bluetooth. Therefore they are completely safe. Apart from this, many companies use different software in their lithium batteries, on which this app does not work. The danger lies only with those cheap batteries in which no safety settings have been made. Some experts are also saying that connecting to a moving vehicle and finding the right device in the crowd is not as easy as it appears in the video, but this does not completely eliminate the danger.

claims and law

Some people claim that this app can immediately stop any e-rickshaw through Bluetooth, but investigation revealed that the app needs a separate ID to connect to the battery. That means without that special ID it cannot automatically connect to every vehicle. There are different opinions on this claim, so it cannot be considered completely certain. According to cyber law expert Pawan Duggal, connecting the battery of someone’s e-rickshaw without permission can be a crime under sections 43 and 66 of the IT Act. According to him, e-rickshaw is also a kind of computer system and interfering in it without permission can lead to punishment and fine. The government also has the right to block such apps under Section 69A of the IT Act.

what next

Many experts are also saying that the real solution is that the battery manufacturing companies should sell the vehicles only after installing password and security in advance so that no one gets a chance to tamper with it later. At present, the government is keeping an eye on this entire matter. Two apps have been removed and now preparations are on for talks with app store companies. In the coming days, it remains to be seen what concrete steps the government takes against battery manufacturing companies and app stores.

The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court has canceled the order regarding the mandatory condition of being a local resident of Lucknow for registration of e-rickshaw in the capital. The court said that such a condition is a clear violation of the fundamental rights of equality, freedom of occupation and life. This order was passed by the division bench of Justice Shekhar B Saraf and Justice Brijraj Singh after hearing four petitions including Ajit Yadav’s petition.

It was said in the petitions that on February 5, 2025, the Assistant Divisional Transport Officer, Lucknow passed an order and imposed two restrictions regarding the registration of e-rickshaws. Under the first of these restrictions, a person who already has registration of an e-rickshaw will not get the registration of a new rickshaw and under the second restriction, only a person who is permanently resident in Lucknow will get the registration of a new e-rickshaw.

In the petitions, the second condition related to permanent residence in Lucknow was challenged. Responding to the petitions, the state government said that e-rickshaw owners living on rent in Lucknow face difficulty in giving notices regarding expiry of fitness etc. If their address changes, it becomes difficult to trace them. The court was not satisfied with this answer and did not consider it a proper basis for depriving people living on rent from registration.

The bench said that there could be other ways to control the number of e-rickshaws like registering only a certain quantity in a year and confiscating e-rickshaws that do not have a valid fitness certificate, but denying registration on the basis of not having permanent residence in Lucknow is arbitrary.

A new “jugadu invention” has surfaced from the soil of the village. This time no scientist, but a common e-rickshaw, did wonders. Yes, the e-rickshaw has been replaced in such a way that it can now be used in plowing fields and carrying goods like a tractor. It can be clearly seen in the video that a simple looking e-rickshaw has now become a “mini tractor”. Large tires have been installed behind it and a roof has also been made by putting an iron structure above. The name of “Mini Metro” has also been written on the edge of the car, due to which this desi jugaad has become even more fun.

E-rickshaw made a tractor

It can be clearly seen in the video that the e-rickshaw has been made a mini tractor where the wheels behind the e-rickshaw have been taken out and the wheels of the tractor have been put in it, where it takes lakhs of rupees to buy the real tractor, while only a few thousand costs to build this e-rickshaw tractor. Neither the concern of petrol and diesel nor the mess of expensive servicing. Charge the battery and get out towards the field.

But this new jugaad has increased the concern of real tractors. Tractor owners say that if the farmers run towards such cheap jugadu tractors, then their business will come to a standstill. Already profits in farming are less, now e-rickshaws have come to snatch their work.
