NEW DELHI:
The Union Road Transport Ministry has proposed raising the qualifying mark for safe-driving tutorial assessments from 60% to 75% and waiving fees for certain online driving licence services linked to Aadhaar authentication.
The draft amendments also propose a minimum 30-minute tutorial and require licensing authorities to decide applications for changes to licence details within 15 days. The government has invited public objections and suggestions within 30 days. The proposals will take effect after final notification.
