In a press note, the commissioner clarified that it is acceptable to lend vehicles to relatives or friends in emergencies without charging a fee. However, regular use of private vehicles by third parties or their engagement for commercial activities like transporting passengers to airports, railway stations or tourist spots without authorisation is an offence, the release said.
