In a bid to bolster the transparent and tamper-proof issuance of pollution certificates, NIC has introduced Next Gen PUCC 2.0 in Uttar Pradesh. This web-enabled centralized application connects all Vehicle Pollution Checking Centres (VPCCs) across the state, revolutionizing the process of issuing Pollution Under Control Certificates (PUCCs).
Next Gen PUCC 2.0 facilitates the use of a mobile app by Automated Emission Testing Centres (AETCs), ensuring that all vehicles must be physically present before AETCs for the issuance of PUCC certificates. This measure ensures the authenticity of the certificates and prevents fraudulent activities.
By centralizing the process and implementing stringent verification measures, NIC aims to enhance transparency and reliability in pollution certificate issuance. The introduction of Next Gen PUCC 2.0 signifies a significant step towards modernizing the pollution control infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh, aligning with the state’s commitment to environmental conservation and public health.
