Last checked: 24 October 2026

Certificate of Fitness (FC) vehicle ki prescribed fitness test ke baad issue ya renew hota hai. Parivahan ke mutabik FC transport vehicles ke liye applicable hai. Private non-transport vehicle ki registration renewal ko FC renewal samajhna sahi nahi hoga; apne vehicle class ka rule official portal par check karein.

Quick answer

• Vehicle class aur registration state ke liye official VAHAN service open karein.
• Fitness renewal transaction start karke portal par dikhaye gaye vehicle/document details complete karein.
• Fee, document upload aur appointment instructions portal par verify karein.
• Jahan physical fitness test required ho, vehicle ko selected date par Fitness Testing Centre/RTO ke saamne pesh karein.
• Application number, fee receipt aur test appointment details sambhal kar rakhein.

Fitness certificate kin vehicles ke liye hota hai?

Certificate of Fitness transport vehicle ke roadworthiness test se juda hota hai. Vehicle type, age, fuel category, registration state aur applicable rule ke mutabik inspection aur renewal requirements alag ho sakti hain. Isliye har private car ya two-wheeler par transport-vehicle FC rules apply honge, aisa assume na karein.

VAHAN par fitness renewal kaise karein?

1. Official VAHAN Citizen Services open karein aur apni vehicle registration state/service select karein.
2. Vehicle registration number aur portal dwara maange gaye chassis details/OTP se transaction verify karein.
3. Fitness renewal service select karke vehicle, insurance aur requested particulars confirm karein.
4. Portal ki document list dekhein, required records upload karein aur fee details screen par check karein.
5. Payment official gateway se karein. Receipt aur application reference download ya save karein.
6. Agar appointment ya vehicle inspection dikhaya jaye to available slot book karein. Vehicle ko test ke liye taiyar karke appointment instructions follow karein.
7. Application status official portal par track karein. Approval ke baad FC validity aur vehicle record verify karein.

Portal steps state aur service configuration ke hisaab se badal sakte hain. Agar online service physical inspection maangti hai, sirf online payment karna FC renewal complete hone ke barabar nahi hai.

Test se pehle kya check karein?

• Tyres, brakes, steering, lights, indicators, horn aur mirrors safe working condition mein hon.
• Windscreen aur body mein aisa damage na ho jo visibility ya vehicle safety ko affect kare.
• Registration, insurance, tax aur pollution-related records current hon, jahan applicable.
• Vehicle number, chassis number aur engine details documents se match karein.
• Commercial vehicle ke route, permit ya outstanding dues se judi portal requirements pehle check karein.

VAHAN portal vehicle fitness test se pehle tyre aur windscreen condition jaise pre-checks deta hai. Apne assigned Fitness Testing Centre ke current instructions bhi dekhein.

Fee, road tax aur delay charge kaise samjhein?

Fitness test/renewal fee aur road tax ek hi charge nahi hain. Applicable fee vehicle class, age, service aur current central/state rules ke mutabik differ kar sakti hai. Portal ke fee details mein amount aur any additional charge ko payment se pehle review karein. Is page par fixed all-state amount dena misleading ho sakta hai, kyunki vehicle aur state ke hisaab se payable total badalta hai.

Fitness certificate expiry ke baad vehicle chalane se pehle applicable law aur current fee/penalty rules official source se confirm karein. Kisi third-party chart ya purane screenshot ko final fee na samjhein.

Common mistakes

• Portal par required physical inspection ko skip karna.
• Expired insurance, unpaid dues ya incorrect chassis details ke saath application submit karna.
• Fee payment ke baad receipt aur application number save na karna.
• Agent ya unknown link ko OTP, UPI PIN ya banking password dena.
