As June 1 approaches, a variety of new regulations will take effect, influencing several aspects of everyday life. It’s crucial to stay updated on these changes. Among the key areas affected are LPG cylinder pricing, bank holidays, Aadhaar card updates, and driving license rules.
New Driving License Regulations
Starting June 1, 2024, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will implement new procedures for obtaining a driving license in India. Prospective drivers will be able to take their driving tests at private driving training centers instead of government Regional Transport Offices (RTOs). These private centers will be certified to conduct tests and issue certifications necessary for obtaining a license.
Additionally, the new regulations include measures to reduce pollution by phasing out around 900,000 outdated government vehicles and tightening car emission standards.
