To apply for a Transport Driving License, you must prove that you have held a valid LMV (Private) license for at least one continuous year. This is a non-negotiable legal block in the Sarathi 4.0 system.
If you are applying for a commercial category or are above 40, a Medical Certificate (Form 1A) issued by a registered medical practitioner is mandatory. Vision standards must meet 6/6 in at least one eye.
