Commercial vehicles

FC, permit & tax

ಎಫ್‌ಸಿ, ಪರ್ಮಿಟ್ ಮತ್ತು ತೆರಿಗೆ

Your truck, taxi or tempo earns money only while its papers are valid. We keep track of FC, permit and tax dates and prepare the vehicle for inspection, so it isn’t off the road any longer than necessary.

Not sure what applies to you? Send us a photo of your RC or licence and we’ll tell you.

Who this is for

Is this you?

  • Goods vehicle owners (trucks, tempos, pickups)

Steps

How it goes

  1. Message us

    Send photos of the RC and the current FC, permit or tax receipt.

  2. We check dates

    We tell you what is due, what it costs at official rates, and what the vehicle needs before inspection.

  3. Inspection

    Bring the vehicle for the FC inspection on the booked date. We are with you through the process.

  4. Reminders

    We note your renewal dates and remind you on WhatsApp before they expire.

How long it takes. Transport vehicles renew FC every 2 years for the first 8 years, then every year. Inspection is booked by slot, so plan at least a week before expiry.

Questions

FC, permit & tax: common questions

What happens if my FC has expired?

Running a commercial vehicle without a valid FC can bring fines, and insurance claims can be rejected. Contact us right away and we will tell you the fastest legal route.

Does my vehicle need a GPS tracker and panic button?

Public service vehicles such as taxis and buses must have an AIS-140 tracking device and emergency button. Send us your RC and we will check what applies to your vehicle.

Can you remind me before tax and FC dates?

Yes. Save your vehicle with us and we send a WhatsApp reminder before each due date.

Send us a photo of your RC or licence. We’ll tell you what’s needed.
