The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has announced new regulations for obtaining a driving license in India.
Here are the key points:
Driving Tests at Private Institutions: Starting June 1, 2024, individuals can take driving tests at private driving training centres instead of government RTOs. These institutions will be authorised to conduct tests and issue certificates for license eligibility.
Focus on Environment: The new rules aim to reduce pollution by phasing out around 900,000 old government vehicles and implementing stricter car emission regulations.
Stricter Penalties: The fine for speeding remains between ₹ 1000 and ₹ 2000. However, a minor caught driving will face a hefty fine of ₹ 25,000. Additionally, the vehicle owner’s registration card will be cancelled, and the minor will be ineligible for a license until 25 years old.

Application Process: The application process remains largely the same. You can apply online or offline at https://parivahan.gov.in/. The application fee depends on the license type. You will need to visit the RTO to submit documents and demonstrate your driving skills for license approval.
