Section 217A of MVA : Section 217A: Renewal Of Permits, Driving Licences And Registration Granted Under The Motor Vehicles Act, 1939

Explanation using Example

A hypothetical scenario for the application of Section 217A of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, could be as follows:

Ramesh owns a transport business and has a fleet of trucks that were registered under the Motor Vehicles Act of 1939. One of his trucks' registration is about to expire. Despite the old Act being repealed, Ramesh doesn't need to worry about getting a new registration under the new Act. According to Section 217A, he can simply renew the existing registration, even though it was initially granted under the previous 1939 Act. This provision ensures a smooth transition from the old to the new legislation without causing inconvenience to vehicle owners like Ramesh.
