According to it, the cooperative societies will be able to register two-wheelers, taxis, rickshaws, and four-wheelers.
Giving details about the scheme in the Lok Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah said that the central government is working on the mission of prosperity with the assistance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is not a slogan. The Ministry of Cooperation has worked for the last three and a half years to implement it at the ground level. There is going to be a massive cooperative taxi service on a big scale in the coming months. Drivers are going to benefit directly from it.
In December 2024, the government received a complaint that cab companies, especially 'Uber' and 'Ola', were charging different fares from customers using iPhones and Android phones. After this, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) issued notices to both companies.
