Legal issues in getting permit for bike taxi from RTO in Pune
07-Feb-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
Hi Sir, We are thinking of starting a Bike Taxi service in Pune. We have studied Motor Vehicle Act 1988 and got to know that we need to apply for Permit under Contract Carriage Permit. We want to understand the definition of motor vehicle under this act before applying for permit. Also, what would be the challenges we will face from RTO as justifying the need of such taxis in city and how till help to make public commutation better.
"The defination is as under
""contract carriage"" means a motor vehicle which carries a passenger or passenger or passengers for hire or reward and is engaged under a contract, whether expressed or implied, for the use of such vehicle as a whole for the carriage of passengers mentioned therein and entered into by a person with a holder of a permit in relation to such vehicle or any person authorised by him in this behalf on a fixed or an agreed rate or sum--
on a time basis, whether or not with reference to any route or distance; or
from one point to another, and in either case, without stopping to pick up or set down passengers not included in the contract anywhere during the journey, and includes--
