About PUCC Portal
The PUCC Portal at puc.parivahan.gov.in is the national system for Pollution Under Control Certificates, run on the Vahan platform of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. PUC centres log in here to test vehicles and issue certificates.
Vehicle owners use it to download a PUC certificate, see past certificates with an OTP, find an active PUC centre and pay the fine for an expired certificate.

If PUCC Portal isn't working

Are PUC centres in other states reporting it? Reports from PUC centres in several states together mean the portal itself is down.
-
Enter only the last 5 characters The download form asks for just the last five characters of the chassis number, not the full number.
-
Reload the captcha If the form rejects your entry, load a new captcha image and type it again.
-
Centres: update the app If the PUC centre app stops working, install the latest version from the PUC Portal.
-
Centres: check the video The test video must show the centre name and code, the vehicle number and the probe inside the exhaust pipe.

Questions
This page checks puc.parivahan.gov.in and shows reports from vehicle owners and PUC centres. If centres in several states report at once, the portal is down and nobody can issue a certificate until it returns. If only your download fails, try again with fresh captcha text.
A PUCC Portal outage stops every PUC centre at the same moment, and they can only wait. A single centre can also be held up by its own video upload. Each test must be recorded on video, and a rejected video means the test is started again.
Open PUC Certificate under Online Services on puc.parivahan.gov.in. Enter the registration number, the last 5 characters of the chassis number and the captcha, and the certificate details appear for printing. For older certificates, PUC Certificate History asks for the vehicle number and an OTP.
