Now get your driving
license at your doorstep Lac Central Government
Employees to get hike in
Basic Pay
T
he Road Transport
Office of Delhi is
working on a new
scheme by which those
who require new driving
license or a registration
certificate (RC) can
receive their documents
without leaving the
comfort of their home.
Applicants interested in
this facility will have to
call a helpline and apply
for their documents,
following which a “mobile-
sahayak” will visit your
home and help you
out to fill the form.
The experience is like
approaching RTO, except
for the fact that the help-
desk will come directly to
you.
Once basic
documentation is done,
the Sahayak will also
help you to apply for
your driving test. The
only time the applicant
will have to visit his local
RTO will be to give driving
test. Once the test
has been cleared, the
applicant’s driving license
will be delivered to their
doorstep. The RTO official
who will visit your house
will have the tablets and
mobile scanner, so as to
scan and upload all the
applicants’ documents
right away from the
location. All of these
facilities will charge only
Rs 50 per application.
While this is yet to be a
functional service, the
Delhi RTO is working to
make it ready as soon as
possible.
The RTO has
announced that they will
change the test-taking
protocol which worked on
a first come first serve
basis previously which
causes huge crowd at
place from early hours
on test days. To curb the
crowd and streamline the
process they will provide
applicants a time slot
between 8 am and 2 pm
at which the candidate
can come. This positive
step toward a seamless
application process
makes it easier and
faster.
The tests for getting
a driving license will still
be conducted at RTO
offices and as per recent
guidelines the entire
test will be monitored
and recorded on camera,
lowering the chances of
human intervention and
hence corruption too.
A
round 50
lakh central
government
employees can get
good news as Centre
is expected to fulfill
their demand of hike
in minimum basic pay.
Earlier their hopes
were shattered after
State’s finance minister
P. Radhakrishnan said
that, the government
has no plans to increase
the minimum salary
beyond the seventh
