The department has also asked the vehicle owners to obtain valid PUCC before October 25 to avoid inconvenience and action as per law.
"Driving a vehicle without a valid PUCC is liable to attract a penalty of Rs 10,000 and imprisonment up to three months or with both," the notice read.
The Environment Department is also considering issuing a notification mandating all dealers of the petrol, diesel and CNG pumps to sell fuels to motor vehicles only on production of valid PUCC from October 25, it said.
