The Delhi government has recently launched Saheli Smart Card for women. This is a digital travel pass which will have the name and photo of the cardholder. With this card, 12 years and above women and transgender will be able to travel free in Delhi's DTC and cluster buses. This card has been brought under the National Common Common Mobility Card (NCMC) system and will replace the old pink paper ticket. This will make the journey more secure, easy and paperless.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said in the budget speech that there was corruption in the old ticket system. Now this smart card system is more secure and transparent. DTC in Delhi has 44 depots (one in Noida) and 3,266 buses run, including 1,950 electric and 1,694 CNG buses. The government is preparing to implement this card from August 15.
Documents required for friend smart card
For making cards, it is necessary to give Aadhaar card, PAN card, Delhi residence certificate, passport size photo and other documents related to KYC as per the demand of the bank. After KYC is completed, the bank will send the card to your address. The government wants this process to be corruption-free and completely digital, so DTC itself is not issuing any card.
How to get Saheli Smart Card?
It is necessary to be a resident of Delhi for the card and the age should be 12 years or more. For this, online registration will have to be done on DTC website. Then a bank will have to be selected and the entire KYC process will have to be completed by going to that bank branch.
Benefits of friend smart card
Free travel facility only in DTC and cluster buses. The card can be recharged and top-up for other transport means. The card has to be activated in the AFCS system of DTC before using it. The card will be available through the bank and the banks can charge a slight issued or maintenance fees. If the card is lost, a new card can be ordered by reporting in the same bank. This card will not release DTC directly, so that the process remains easy and transparent.
