This was something very strange, how can licence renewal fee change from one application to the other? The official there told me that the renewal fee was not fixed and could vary from application to application. She wanted me to go and check with the official at Counter Number 1. Since the information was not available in writing anywhere, I asked the woman seated at the front desk. If fees for licence renewal and other services have indeed been revised after the last revision made around January 2017, how come the new fee details are neither displayed at the RTO, nor updated on their sites?В I would really request the RTO to ensure that the updated fee details are prominently displayed near the billing counter as well as on the online portal.

Since my licence number had not been updated on the portal as yet, I was told that they would have to contact the concerned official and first get the online update made, and this would take anywhere between 4 to 5 days.ДЄ board bearing the details of the fees related to the various services rendered by the RTO used to be displayed near the billing counter earlier, but this has now disappeared. They also mentioned that they would need to pay a small fee at every desk to complete the process and the remaining would be their service charge. When I asked them why they were charging so much, when the actual fee was only Rs 200, I was told that the government fees for driving licence renewal had been increased significantly and would amount to Rs 450 to 500 (they promised to provide receipts for the same). I approached some brokers sitting outside the RTO who wanted anything between 900 to 1300 for getting the work done. Since they were also facing similar issues, I decided to take the help of driving schools or brokers. I waited for half an hour and in the meantime, checked with a few of the other applicants on how they had completed the online process for renewal application. I explained the problem that I was facing with submission of the application online, after which he advised me to contact the concerned official in charge of renewal once he came to his desk. He checked the papers and advised me to file the application online for renewal. I contacted the official manning the Counter Number 1 at the RTO and submitted the papers.

I went to the RTO Chennai (North) early on the morning of Jan 29th to file the manual application Form 9 along with Form 7 as well as Form 1a and a medical certificate, duly completed along with copies of my driving licence, Aadhar card and Blood Group Certificate. I was unable to complete the process and I received a message asking me to contact the local RTO office. In the hope that online procedures in the Regional Transport Offices (RTO) had improved and gave the user a smooth experience, I tried to file an application for the renewal of my driving licence online through the вЂParivahanвЂ™ portal, a few days ago.
