Raj Budget: Paperless driving licence and vehicle registration

Soon there won't be any need of carrying a physical copy of licence, vehicle registration certificate while driving. Rather one can opt for a digital driving license and registration certificate on a mobile phone or laptop.

This initiative was launched on September 7, 2016, by the Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari. He said, “The system will not only eliminate corruption but is also a mega step towards realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India drive. Citizens can use this at airports as a valid identity document,”

He also added, “If someone is stopped, he or she can show the driving license on a mobile phone. This will benefit the common masses and ensure a corruption-free, transparent system devoid of red tape. Crores will benefit.”
