The Himachal Pradesh government has announced that basic taxi permits will now remain valid for 15 years, replacing the previous 5‑year validity period.
The Himachal Pradesh government has extended the validity of basic taxi permits from five to fifteen years, a move aimed at easing the renewal burden on taxi operators.
The change, announced by the state transport department, will allow taxi owners to keep their permits active for a decade and a half without the need for frequent renewals.
Officials said the new policy will reduce administrative costs and paperwork, while also encouraging more people to enter the taxi business.
The government plans to roll out the extended validity across the state in the coming months, with updated guidelines to be issued to all registered taxi operators.
