RTOs issue Registration Certificate (RC) & Driving Licence (DL) that are valid across the country. It was necessary to define same standards for these documents on a pan-India level to ensure interoperability and correctness and timely availability of information. 

SCOSTA committee setup for this purpose had recommended a uniform standardized software across the country. The VAHAN & SARATHI are conceptualized to capture the functionalities as mandated by Central Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 as well as State motor vehicle Rules with customization in the core product to suit the requirements of 36 States.
