In the past, getting a driving license in the country was seen as a difficult task. Many people believed that it was impossible to get a driving license without paying a bribe or using agents.
However, this is no longer the case. The government has simplified the process of obtaining a driving license.
Previously, many people had to take a test at the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to get their license.
But now, the government has introduced a new rule that allows people to get their driving license without taking a test at the RTO. Let’s explore the new process.
New Rule for Driving Licenses
Starting from June 1, 2024, the Ministry of Road and Transport has changed some rules to make the driving license process easier.
Now, instead of only taking the test at the RTO, applicants can also take the test at private driving training centers.
This change was made to reduce the hassle of long queues at the RTO.
With this new rule, private institutions will help conduct the test and issue the license eligibility certificate. Applicants will receive their driving license based on these important documents.
How to Apply for a Driving License
Applying for a driving license has become simple. You can apply online by visiting the website https://parivahan.gov.in/.
You can also apply by visiting the RTO in person.
The RTO charges different fees for different types of driving licenses.
For example, the fee for a learner’s license is Rs 150, while the fee for issuing a full driving license is Rs 200.
