There are certain documents related to the two-wheeler that always need to stay with the rider when the two-wheeler is in use. These include the two-wheeler insurance policy, the two-wheeler’s registration certificate, the driver’s licence and the two-wheeler’s pollution under control certificate. Moreover, it is important that all these documents are valid and have not expired. If someone is found to be using their two-wheeler without these documents or with expired ones they can be fined heavily. However, this should no longer be a problem since so many facilities related to these documents are now available online. Just like the two-wheeler insurance that can be purchased online, you can also check the status of your two-wheeler pollution under control certificate online. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to do to check the status of your PuC online.

What is the Pollution under Control Certificate for Two-Wheelers?

The PuC Certificate is an essential document which testifies that the emission levels of your two-wheeler are within the prescribed limits. If they cross these limits the pollution becomes harmful for the environment and hence, is detrimental to the society at large. Hence, if your two-wheeler fails to make the prescribed levels it is considered unfit for use and the testing centres will issue a complaint to the RTO about the same.

The PuC Certificate is valid for one year after the purchase of a new two-wheeler but must be renewed every six months after that. You can get this test done at various locations including the fuel pumps, service centres and authorized test centres. In case you cannot locate your PuC or do not have its expiry date with you for some reason you can simply check its status online now.
