Expired driving licence allowed till end Feb
The transport ministry had announced that the issuance of licences had been put on hold to complete the work with a software upgrade.
The government on Monday extended the permit for using expired driving licences till February 28.
While suspending the issuance of licences for a week at the end of last month in order to complete the formalities for issuing licences online, the Transport Ministry has said that vehicles can ply till February 14 using the licences that expire during the same period.
However, the deadline has been extended till the 28th now, the ministry said in an announcement. The ministry did not give any reason for the extension.
Last month, the transport ministry had announced that the issuance of licences had been put on hold to complete the work with a software upgrade.
The ministry had said at the time:
-
The ministry is working on data migration to issue driving licences as part of the newly developed software to improve the quality and ease of delivering services to the people
-
All licence issuance services have been suspended till March 4
