The Indian government aims to cut down the human interface and take advantage of technology for driving license issuance, which is expected to restrain corruption as well as road accidents in this country.
Nitin Gadkari, Transport Minister in Lok Sabha on July 22, added that getting a driving license is expected to be simpler.
The intent of the Indian government to carry out the regulations for getting a driving license are able to come true after the Motor Vehicles Amendment Bill 2019 gets the approval of the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. According to the latest information, the Lok Sabha on July 23 approved the Motor Vehicles Bill, 2019, which was proposed to amend the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 as well as increase the number of penalties for road violations.
Licenses’ computerization will get rid of multiple licenses. According to Gadkari, 30 percent of driving licenses in India are fake. Therefore, the proposed bill’s provisions are expected to reduce the number of bogus licenses.
The Minister said:
In addition, according to him, it is much harder in other countries to get a driving license.
In addition, a one-year window instead of one month will be given for the registration for the license renewal.
The proposed Motor Vehicles Bill’s goal is to handle major crucial issues like road safety. In addition, the bill plans to impose strict penalties for those violating the rules, which enhances the Indian public transport system. As per the Road Transport and Highways Ministry, about 146,000 deaths in India were caused by road accidents in 2015. And there were around 300,000 victims injured in road accidents this year.
