PRACHSO and Parivahan services
Parivahan is the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' umbrella for VAHAN (vehicles), SARATHI (licences) and the e-Challan system. PRACHSO reads vehicle, licence and challan status through the authorised access available to registered users, and sends you to the official Parivahan service whenever a renewal or a payment has to happen.

How access works
PRACHSO is not Parivahan, VAHAN or SARATHI, and is not a government service. It reads records per vehicle and per licence through authorised access only, never by scraping, and it never writes to any Parivahan system. Payments and renewals are made by you on the official service.
Questions about Parivahan services
Can PRACHSO pay a challan on Parivahan for me?
No. PRACHSO links to the official e-challan payment page. Once you pay, the next check picks up the paid status.
Why does a date in PRACHSO differ from my paper?
Usually because the registry has not been updated after a renewal. PRACHSO flags the mismatch until VAHAN shows the same date as the paper.
Does PRACHSO use mParivahan?
No. Drivers can keep using mParivahan or DigiLocker for their own copies. PRACHSO's Roadside Pack can show DigiLocker copies with consent.
