The applicant must also submit the remaining documents outlined in the scheme. This change has been approved by the Minister for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises. The responsible Joint Secretary is Rajesh Kumar Singh, and the file number for this amendment is F. No. 12422015-AEI. The annexure provides a template for the certificate to be issued by the Road Transport Officer, confirming that the individual is capable of driving the retrofitted vehicle based on their physical/orthopedic disability.
