The Road Transport Administration Department (RTAD) has announced that wheel tax cards of vehicles that don’t have new embossed number plates will be confiscated or the owners will be fined.

In accordance with the statement issued by the Road Transport Administration Department, the deadline for installation of new embossed number plates was March 31. But, April 2023 was set as awareness month as there were some vehicles which needed to do so. But now, the educative period was over and therefore action was taken since May 1, it is reported.
