What is modification?

A person with an orthopaedic disability finds it difficult to drive a vehicle designed for abled-bodies. Hence, they look for alteration/ retrofitment/ adaptation in the vehicle as per their requirements.

Such vehicles (especially adapted for PwDs) are called as adapted vehicle. 

In legal terms, an “Adapted vehicle” means a motor vehicle either specially designed and constructed, or to which alterations have been made under sub-section (2) of section 52, for the use of a person suffering from any physical defect or disability, and used solely by or for such person. (Reference: Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Act 2019 No. 32 of 2019 issued by Ministry of Law and Justice dated 9th August 2019.)
