    PUC(Pollution Under
    Control)
    Introduction:-

    Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or
    discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built
    environment, into the atmosphere.
    A substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment is known as an air pollutant.
    Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are common sources of air
    pollution.
    What is PUC ?:-

     PUC is a certification mark that is provided to vehicles that undergo the PUC
    Test successfully. The certification indicates that the vehicle's emissions are in
    alignment with standard pollution norms and are not harmful to the
    environment. All vehicles on Indian roads are mandated to carry a valid PUC
    certification.

     A PUC center is a government authorized place where PUC certificates can be


    issued. These centers are equipped with testing equipment that can test the level
    of emissions a vehicle is making. There are millions of vehicles in Indian; it
    would be impossible for the Government to open and operate PUC centers
    itself. Therefore, the Government authorizes private players to certify vehicles
    with a non-pollution making mark

    final reading.

    reading is observed in the PUC test, the validity of the certificate will be
    decided on the basis of that reading.

    number of the vehicle will be informed to the RTO, Deputy RTO or Assistant RTO by
    the testing center within one day.
