Vahan Parivahan & Sarathi Parivahan – Vehicle RC, Driving Licence, eChallan & RTO Services
The Vahan Parivahan system is the backbone of India’s digital transport infrastructure, developed and maintained by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC). It operates as a centralised national database that stores and manages information for every registered vehicle and licensed driver across India.
At its core, the Vahan Parivahan ecosystem runs on two integrated software applications — VAHAN for vehicle registration and related services, and SARATHI for driving licence management. Together, these two systems power the official Parivahan Sewa portal at parivahan.gov.in, which connects all Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) across 36 states and union territories into a single unified network.

Parivahan Portal – Two Core Systems Explained
The Parivahan Sewa portal is built on two distinct but deeply integrated systems. Understanding the difference between them is essential for accessing the right service.
| System | Full Name | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| VAHAN | Vehicle Administration | Vehicle registration, RC issuance and renewal, ownership transfer, road tax, fitness certificate, NOC, hypothecation, PUC, permits, fancy number booking |
| SARATHI | Sarathi Driving Licence System | Learner’s licence, permanent DL, DL renewal, duplicate DL, international driving permit, driving school licence, DL test slot booking |
Both systems are accessible through the central parivahan.gov.in portal, though each has its own dedicated subdomain:
- vahan.parivahan.gov.in — for all vehicle-related services
- sarathi.parivahan.gov.in — for all driving licence-related services
- echallan.parivahan.gov.in — for traffic violation fine check and payment
All Services Available on Vahan Parivahan Portal
