MoRTH says only Nepal embassy permits valid for India-Nepal bus
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways just announced that only Form C permits from the Nepalese Embassy or Consulate are allowed for running busses between India and Nepal.
This move follows a recent investigation in Uttar Pradesh, where private operators were caught using fake or unauthorized permits—including some with forged RTO documents—to run cross-border bus services.
Ministry's new rules to prevent misuse
FIRs have already been filed against these unauthorized operators in several UP districts.
To tighten things up, MoRTH has told states like Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, West Bengal, and Sikkim to stop accepting regular domestic permits for international routes.
There's also a new push for real-time permit checks at the border to prevent misuse and keep travel safe.
The ministry is closing loopholes to make sure only legit busses cross over—helping fight corruption and keeping both countries' agreements strong.
