'PUC' means 'Pollution Under Control'. PUC certificates are issued to fuel-operated vehicles if their emissions don't exceed the legally permitted levels. This document is now mandatory as per the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, and its format is standardised across India. A PUCC remains valid for 12 months for new vehicles that comply with BS-IV or BS-VI norms. For other vehicles, the document has to be renewed after six months.
If you have a vehicle registered in Tripura, follow this process to obtain your pollution certificate. Visit the website of PUCC Parivahan to view authorised testing centres in the state.
Take your car/bike to any testing centre.
As instructed by the technicians, position the vehicle for the test.
A testing device will be inserted into the exhaust, and its readings will be displayed on the computer screen.
