In 2026, the Maharashtra Revenue Department has made it impossible to generate an E-Transit Pass (E-TP) without a verified GPS link. This guide explains exactly how to synchronize your vehicle with the Shorya Technosoft system.
Need Hardware? If you do not yet have a government-approved device, you can purchase a Mahakhanij AIS 140 GPS Tracker starting at ₹6,500 with installation and portal integration.
Step-by-Step Integration Process
Step 1: Install ARAI-Certified Hardware
The device must support IRNSS (NavIC). Standard GPS devices will fail the Vahan whitelisting process. Ensure the SOS panic button is installed within reach of the driver.
Step 2: Upload Fitment Certificate to Vahan
Once installed, the fitment certificate and NIC certificate must be uploaded to the Vahan portal. This generates the VTD (Vehicle Tracking Device) receipt needed for Mahakhanij.
Step 3: Portal Registration (Shorya Technosoft)
The final step is linking the IMEI to your mining lease on the Mahakhanij web-based solution. Our team handles this backend communication to ensure your data reaches the cloud server instantly.
Understanding Portal Status: Green vs. Red
Once you log in to the Mahakhanij dashboard, check your vehicle status:
Legal Penalties: Section 48 of MLRC
Transporting minerals without a working GPS is a violation of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code (1966).
If your vehicle repeatedly shows RED status, it usually indicates non-compliance. Using a government-approved Mahakhanij GPS tracker prevents portal rejection.
- Section 48(7): Penalties for illegal removal of minerals (up to 3x market value).
- Section 48(8): Empowers authorities to seize and confiscate vehicles used for unauthorized transport.
Common Troubleshooting Tips
- No Data Sync: Check if the SIM card has expired. Trackster plans include 1-year data.
- GPS Not Found: Ensure the vehicle is not parked inside a tin-roof shed, which blocks satellite signals.
- Portal Delay: Integration typically takes 5–7 working days.
