RTA makes Aadhaar must for licence

The Road Transport Authority will soon make Aadhaar card mandatory for all transactions like obtaining driving licence, registration of a vehicle, etc.

This step will curtail the issuance of multiple driving licences to a person. It will also help suspend licences and find fake ones. The biometric details of the Aadhaar card can help the traffic police in curbing such activities. According to top



officials of the RTA, this has become necessary in the wake of advice from the security agencies.    

The officials said Aadhaar will serve as a single document that would establish the applicant’s identity.Making Aadhaar mandatory will help the department to gain better administrative control while maintaining transparency through the digital platform.
