Vehicle registration rises in Bogra

Motor vehicle registration in the district saw more than two times increase in 2016 compared to the last two years.

Regular police checking to control crime, awareness building programme on motor vehicle registration by Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) and paying of registration fee in four installments in eight years have played a key role behind enhancing revenue, said Kazi Md Mursalin, assistant director of BRTA in Bogra. 

“For example, registration fee of Tk 19,663 has to be paid for a 100CC motorbike and first time a person has to pay Tk 10,463 for the purpose and the rest of money he/she can pay in four installments in eight years,” he said, adding that 1429 vehicles were registered in 2014, 5, 993 in 2015 and 12,500 in 2016.

The BRTA official said at least 30-35 vehicles are coming daily to their office, which helps to enhance revenue income in the district.
