The FC is one of the essential documents for a commercial vehicle because it establishes how safe (from a fitness standpoint) the vehicle is to drive on public roads. Here are some further thoughts on the subject.

• During the registration process, all commercial vehicle owners must pay fitness fees dependent on vehicle class.
• For commercial cars up to 8 years old, the FC validity period is two years.
• After eight years, the Fitness Certificate must be renewed annually.

Here are a few reasons as to why a vehicle fitness certificate is important for automobiles in India:

• In India, all motor vehicles must have a Fitness Certificate.
• In India, all commercial vehicles must have an active FC at all times. Failure to display the document during an inspection may result in penalties.
• The Fitness Certificate certifies that the vehicle is roadworthy after a thorough assessment to establish its mechanical condition.
• Vehicle pollution is rapidly increasing, and the use of older automobiles substantially contributes to this. A vehicle FC ensures that old vehicles that emit dangerous emissions and contaminate the environment are not certified and so cannot be driven on public roads.
• Furthermore, having a Fitness Certificate might spare you from headaches such as government penalties for noncompliance.

Now, here's what you need to do to finish the procedure from the comfort of your own home:

• Step 1: Go to the official Parivahan Sewa website and enter the registration number of your vehicle.
• Step 2: From the menu bar, select the 'Online Services option. Then, under this area, pick 'Related Vehicle Services.'
• Step 3: Next, enter your Chassis number as well as your registered cellphone number. You will then be given a one-time password.
• Step 4: Enter your Chassis number and registered cellphone number, and then select "Proceed." You will then be given a one-time password.
• Step 5: Pay in the next step and obtain the digital receipt and application letter. You must provide these documents to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) after applying for a vehicle fitness certificate online.

Remember that in order to execute these procedures successfully, you must first be eligible for a car FC. Anyone can generally obtain a fitness certificate when their car or bike has passed all of the necessary fitness tests. There may be other requirements you must complete before applying for this, so contact your RTO for further information, including document needs.
