Fuel distribution under the QR system based on the last digit of vehicle number plates commenced today (19).
According to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC), vehicles with number plates ending in odd digits (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) will be eligible to obtain fuel today, as it falls on an odd date.
Plates ending in even digits or zero will be permitted to access fuel on even dates.
CPC Chairman D.J. Rajakaruna further noted that individuals who have not yet received their fuel quota under the QR system will also be allowed to obtain fuel today, irrespective of the odd‑even arrangement.
Meanwhile, the Department of Motor Traffic has instructed vehicle owners to present one of the following documents when required to confirm identity: the revenue license, registration certificate, insurance certificate, or emission test certificate.
The department explained that due to production issues, number plates were not issued in recent months, prompting some owners to use alternative plates. The new measure aims to streamline distribution and prevent misuse. (Newswire)
