Section 76 of MVA : Section 76: Application For Private Service Vehicle Permit

Explanation using Example

Imagine a company, XYZ Corp, which operates a large campus and wants to use a bus to transport its employees from various parts of the city to the campus. The company does not intend to charge the employees for this service, and the bus will be used exclusively for shuttling employees. XYZ Corp would need to apply for a private service vehicle permit under Section 76 of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

In their application, they must specify the type of bus, which in this case might be a 40-seater. They need to detail the routes they plan to operate on, such as from the city center to the campus, and explain how this service is for the welfare of the employees and not for public transport.

If the Regional Transport Authority approves the application, they might attach conditions to the permit, such as the bus must only operate between specified pick-up points and the campus, maintain a certain level of comfort and cleanliness, and XYZ Corp must submit regular reports on the bus usage to the authority.
