NEW DELHI: Govt is looking at extending the validity period of driving license (DL) from the current 20 years till the time DL holder turns 50, and making the process of transfer of vehicle ownership and renewal of permits completely online, moves which are aimed at eliminating hassles faced by people.TOI has learnt that road transport ministry is working on both proposals and may roll out these for “ease of living” in near future. Officials said state govts’ revenues won’t be impacted as the charges for obtaining and renewal of DL can be collected online without visiting any RTO. “Second, once you have a system to give negative points to drivers for violations and link it to suspension or cancellation of their license, bad drivers will be reined in…,” said an official.
