New Delhi, Oct. 23 -- The Centre has proposed making several driving-licence services free and tightening the requirements for obtaining a learner's licence, as part of a wider overhaul of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. A draft notification published by the Union road transport and highways ministry late on Tuesday proposes raising the pass mark for the safe-driving tutorial assessment from 60% to 75%, while making the tutorial at least 30 minutes long. The draft rules propose waiving fees for services accessed through online Aadhaar authentication. Changes to a driving licence holder's name or other particulars would also be free, while updating an address, mobile number or email ID would attract no fee. The proposals are part of a wider revision of licence application procedures, identity requirements and licence formats. Under the proposed changes, applicants would have to complete the safe-driving tutorial within 15 days, against the existing seven-day period. The pass mark would rise to 75% from 60%, and the minimum tutorial duration would be 30 minutes. The draft also proposes removing clauses (c) and (d) of Rule 11(5). The ministry has proposed a revised list of documents for establishing an applicant's address, age and identity. Address proof could include Aadhaar, voter identity card, passport, e-ration card, government-issued service photo identity card, pensioner or freedom fighter identity card, or a pension payment order. Electricity and household gas bills would be accepted if they were not more than three months old. Foreign applicants would also have to provide proof of their legal presence in India. For age or date-of-birth proof, the proposed list includes a passport, a marksheet or certificate issued by a recognised educational institution showing the date of birth, a birth certificate, and specified government-issued service or pension documents. Aadhaar, a valid Indian passport, an e-ration card, specified service or pension documents, and a permanent account number (PAN) would be accepted as identity proof. The draft also proposes making laminated or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cards the prescribed format for driving licences, with separate formats for Indian and foreign nationals....
