OPMS APP
The objective of OPMS are to bring in transparency, convenience and efficiency in apply up
processing and approve of permits to the stake holders involved in the process, namely
vehicle owners, RTA and STA officials.
There are several types of permits which are issued by STA/RTA. They are Stage Carriage and
Contract Carriage Permits for passenger vehicles and Goods Carriage Permits for goods
vehicles. Depending upon area of operation, the Contract and Goods vehicle may apply for
State or National permits. Similarly, Stage Carriage permit may be of Intra Region (if the route is
within the region) or Inter Region (if the route is covering two or more region) or Inter State (if
the route is covering Odisha and one or more neighbouring State)
Depending upon validity period of a permit, the Stage Carriage
Permit may be temporary (within 4 months) or Permanent (5 years).Through OPMS we
cover all categories of permits, the initial module is proposed to be launched for Temporary
stage carriage permit.
OPMS’s Temporary Stage Carriage Permit Module (TP Module) has a 11
stapes Flow Chart as shown below. It involves the applicant,the Objectors(both Bus Owners)and
officials of STA/RTA. Each stapes of the TP Module has a stake holder. However, during hearing,
all the stake holders meet physically.Here the applicant and objector stake their claim which is
heard and decided by RTA/STA officials.
