Frequently Asked Questions
What is VAHAN API in logistics?
VAHAN is India's national vehicle registration database. The VAHAN API lets you query GVW, body type, fuel, permits, insurance, fitness, and ownership by registration number. Intugine enriches raw VAHAN data with vehicle classification, axle config, and compliance status in a single call.
What is the difference between Basic and Premium VAHAN API?
Basic returns registration details — vehicle class, fuel, owner, chassis. Premium adds permit validity, fitness certificate, insurance expiry, PUC status, and Intugine's derived fields: GVW band, body type, and intracity/intercity suitability. Premium is recommended for fleet onboarding and compliance monitoring.
What is Saarthi API used for in logistics?
Saarthi queries India's driving licence database — licence class, validity, issuing RTO, and endorsements. Used for driver compliance verification before trip assignment. Combined with VAHAN, it enables complete vehicle + driver compliance checks at onboarding.
Can Intugine provide bulk VAHAN verification for a fleet?
Yes. The bulk API accepts a list of registration numbers and returns enriched profiles for all vehicles in one call. Onboard 500 trucks and verify all compliance statuses in seconds, with a per-vehicle compliance flag for expired permits, fitness, or insurance.
What does Echallan API return?
Pending traffic violation records — challan date, violation type, amount due, issuing authority, and payment status. Enables risk scoring of transporters and drivers. High challan rates signal poor compliance culture and elevated liability.
