   • Rs. 2000 and/or 3 months imprisonment.
   • Rs. 4000 for a subsequent offence.

Many states like Kerala, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan have deferred (postponed) implementation of revised rates due to a 200% increase in challan rates. Also, an individual can apply for renewal of a driving license one year before the expiry of the license until one year after the expiry. If you apply for renewal after completion of one year of the expiry of the license, the individual had to undertake the driving license test again.
