Important Information
By law, you should file your appeal no later than 14 days from the date of issue of the Notice to Pay Penalty Fee (NTPF) to you. Failure to meet the deadline could mean that the appeal would not be considered by the Public Transport Council (PTC).
Please ensure that you complete all sections in this form. Incomplete information would result in longer processing time.
By submitting this form to the PTC, you acknowledge and consent that the PTC may disclose your personal particulars to other Government agencies and non-Government entities e.g. SimplyGo and Public Transport Operators, as well as collect and use necessary data from these agencies and entities so as to facilitate investigation of your appeal.
Please provide a valid email address or mailing address. Upon successful submission of appeal, a confirmation page with a Response ID will be displayed on screen. If you have provided an email address, you should receive an automated acknowledgement email within 5 minutes of your appeal submission. If you do not see the automated acknowledgement email in your inbox, please check your “spam” / “junk mail” folder and add “e-appeal-management-system@gather.gov.sg” to your Safe Sender List. If you did not received the automated acknowledgement email after checking, please submit details of your application at PTC Feedback Form | FormSG and we will respond to you within 3 working days. No acknowledgement will be issued if you have provided us with your mailing address.
You may check the status of your appeal via PTC | Penalty Fee Appeal Status Check using the Response ID.
Please note that the estimated processing time of the appeal may take up to a month.
