As per the instructions of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) all the courier companies and freight carriers providing services by road will compulsorily need to register themselves with the local transport office and obtain a certificate.

Goods carriers, contractors, registered agents, brokers, transport companies, courier services delivering documents/pockets to residences, hoarders of goods, distributors, consignors, will have to apply with city RTO or deputy RTO for registration in order to obtain certificate to continue their business. The RTO will act against those who fail to obtain registration certificate from the local RTO office. The certificate will be issued for a period of 10 years, informed a press release.
Various courier services in the city are being provided by private companies to deliver goods by road to offices and residential areas. This has led to government postal services witnessing poor business.
The city has witnessed increase in number of such companies but the RTO office have no information.
