The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Punjab, Shri Bhagwant Mann, launched the Online Driving Licence system, SARATHI in the state of Punjab. The service will facilitate the citizens of the state to get the learner’s driving licence with a single click from their computer, mobile, tablet or laptop in a transparent manner. The online facility will work in tandem with the existing offline Learning Driving Licence facility available at service centres, but in the case of offline service, applicants need to give an online traffic signs test first. Hon’ble CM said, “this will save time, money and energy of the people desirous of getting learner’s driving licence in the comfort of their homes round the clock.” He further added, “this decision would help check corruption. Last year, 5.21 lakh people had got the learning licence made, but now applicants would not have to visit any office.”
