According to industry sources, access to VAHAN portal is not available to few dealers in some districts and states. In such cases, linking the laser branded identification numbers with the other registration details of the vehicle would have to be done by the concerned Registration Authority (RTOs)
Majority of OEMs have tied up with the suppliers of HSRPs and passed on the information to their respective dealers.
