I own a Verna Diesel Vehicle 2013 model, with Chandigarh Registration. All these years i have been getting the PUC certificate from a Pollution checking center in Dwarka. This year it was due on 02 Aug 2020. i went and lined up for checking before expiry. The system failed to print the PUC Certificate, reason told that main server is down and all Diesel Vehicles will have to come again after the main server is set right.
More than three weeks have passed, i get the same answer that still server is not functional. I tried several other PUC Checking centres in Dwarka but no joy and got same answer
Kindly help me to resolve this issue. I believe there are many Diesel Car owners who are suffering for no fault of theirs. Traffic Police is of course doing their business and have no information of this.

Hi all,

I have tried to research the official government delhi sites, but nowhere have i found a mention of the below mentioned update, anywhere excepts on discussion boards and newspaper clippings. Will a traffic police officer hold this true if one is stopped and found having a PUC beyond 3 months on a car/ two wheeler bought post April 1st, 2010?

Hello - I need to know one thing.

Petrol car with CNG company fitted Kit - Do we require to have two PUC for CNG and Petrol Separately ?

As per my understanding - CNG vehicles are marked as NON POLLUTING VEHICALS IN RC BOOK.

In Gujarat at CNG out lets they enforce you to have two certificates ? Is it correct ?

Thanks.
