e-DAR portal - speed up accident compensation claims

Tags: Government Schemes

The Ministry of Roads, Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has developed the portal named ‘e-DAR’ (e-Detailed Accident Report).

• The portal will provide instant information on road accidents with a few clicks and help accelerate accident compensation claims, bringing relief to victims’ families.

• Digitalised Detailed Accident Reports (DAR) will be uploaded on the portal for easy access.

• The web portal will be linked to the Integrated Road Accident Database (iRAD).

• From iRAD, applications to more than 90% of the datasets would be pushed directly to the e-DAR. 

• Stakeholders like the police, road authorities, hospitals, etc., are required to enter very minimal information for the e-DAR forms. 

• Therefore, e-DAR would be an extension and e-version of iRAD.

• The portal would be linked to other government portals like Vaahan.

• For the benefit of investigating officers, the portal would provide geo tagging of the exact accident spot along with the site map. 

• Details like photos, video of the accident spot, damaged vehicles, injured victims, eye-witnesses, etc., would be uploaded immediately on the portal.
