Information which might helpEdit


  • The Motor Vehicles Division is responsible for issue of Contract Carriages (Maxi Cab), Luxury tourist vehicles, Stage carriage and Goods carrier permit. Such permits are issued by State Transport Authority constituted under section 68 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Considering the traffic congestion the issue of local taxi permits in Gangtok and its suburban areas encompassing Penlong-fatak in the North, Ranipool-Rumtek in the South and Rongey in the East has been restricted till the parking infrastructure improves.

On the other hand, a contract carriage permit holder runs from one point to the destination point only.

The permit holder cannot pick passengers other than those mentioned in the list. Such type of buses are also known as Chartered Buses.
