The Department of Land Transport is automatically easing the state welfare card rule for cars over 20 years old and motorcycles over 15 years old, covering over 1 million cases. About 200,000 people have filed appeals at transport offices, and officials expect 2-3 million people who lost eligibility to regain it. Data is due to go to the Finance Ministry by August. Relevant for small shop owners and drivers whose customers are low-income: welfare-card holders may have more spending power soon. No action is required from a business owner, but customers in this group may return to buying.
