The Maharashtra government has decided to permanently shut down all Motor Transport Border Check Posts across the state, aligning with the Centre’s directives and the nationwide implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The move is intended to streamline interstate commercial vehicle movement, reduce logistical delays, and transition to a paperless transport system.

Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik confirmed the development on Sunday, stating that the decision marks a significant shift in the state’s approach to road transport regulation.
