The Delhi government has decided to extend the validity of driving licences that have expired or will expire anytime between 1 February, 2020 and 31 January, 2022.
Kailash Gahlot, Delhi Transport Minister, took to Twitter to make the announcement, saying that the validity of such driving licences has been extended by two months till 31 March 2022.
According to the Transport Department, the validity of a learner's licence was earlier extended to January 31, 2022 and has now extended the date further as driving tests were cancelled to prevent the spread of the third wave of Covid-19.
Gahlot tweeted in Hindi stating, ‘’Keeping in view the interest of the general public of Delhi, the Transport Department has decided to extend the validity of all learning licences and heavy driving licences for the next three months. And whereas, it has come to notice that several learners licence holders have not been able to obtain the online appointment slots for their driving skill tests and there are many more applicants than the available driving tests slots.’’
“Therefore, the validity of those learner licences, including the heavy commercial vehicle driving licences, issued by the department whose validity has expired between February 1, 2020 to January 31, 2022, has been extended for two months," it added.
