NEW DELHI: The Centre has issued a notification linking Aadhar with new driving licences issued from April 1, 2018, onwards. The move comes less than a month after the Supreme Court indefinitely extended the government’s March 31 deadline for linking various services with Aadhaar.
The Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways has issued a gazette notification amending the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.
“Under the personal details column, details of Aadhaar has to be submitted,” the notification says. In the application form for the licence, the ministry seeks details of the Aadhaar card, if available with the applicant, or the Aadhaar application number if it has been applied for.
The ministry had issued a relevant draft notification in August 29, 2017, inviting objections and suggestions. It said no objections and suggestions were received.
