According to the directions of the Central Government and in accordance with the implementation of the GST system, the Maharashtra government has decided to permanently close all the Motor Transport Border Chowk in the state, ie RTO Border Check Post. The purpose of this decision is to facilitate the interstate traffic and remove the obstacles to the movement of commercial vehicles, said state transport minister Pratap Sarnaik.
Transport Minister further said that the purpose of these border squares, established in 1966, was to control the movement of vehicles, ensure transport rules and recover the road tax. However, due to the implementation of the GST and the progress in digital implementation measures, the need for these border outposts established for direct inquiry is no longer required.
