Government Advisory: Update Mobile Numbers On Vahan And Sarathi Portals

The Indian government has issued a nationwide advisory asking vehicle owners and driving licence holders to immediately update their mobile numbers on the Vahan and Sarathi portals.

Users are advised to keep their Registration Certificate (RC) or driving licence handy while updating details. This move is part of the government’s broader push to strengthen digital governance and ensure secure, seamless transport services.
