Everything you need to know about transit passes, cutting permissions, registration, and TIGRAM operations.
General
TIGRAM is a web-based and mobile application developed for private forest owners to apply for transit passes for non-exempted tree species and NOCs for exempted species, ensuring hassle-free timber transport across Kerala.
If the forest officer does not approve the application within 20 days after the Revenue Department's approval, the system automatically marks the application as deemed approved.
The TIGRAM mobile app supports Android versions 6 to 11. Download it from the official website or from the portal footer.
