Punjab Police Proposes 800% Increase in Driving License Fee

Attention all drivers in Punjab! Be prepared for potential changes that could affect your finances and road safety. The Punjab Police has put forth a bold proposal to substantially increase driving license fees, aiming to generate extra revenue and enhance road safety measures across the province. Let's delve into the details of this proposal.

Motorcycle and LTV Driving License Fees

If this proposal gets the green light, obtaining a driving license will become more expensive. Currently priced at Rs. 550, motorcycle license fees are expected to witness an astonishing 263.64% surge, reaching a hefty Rs. 2,000. Similarly, those aspiring to acquire an LTV license will face a staggering 321.05% increase, with the fee soaring from Rs. 950 to Rs. 4,000.

HTV Driving License Fees

But the proposal doesn't stop there. Aspiring HTV license holders are in for a shock as the fees for these licenses are set to skyrocket from Rs. 450 to Rs. 4,000, reflecting an astounding percentage increase of 788.89%. Such drastic changes are likely to have significant implications for commercial drivers and businesses relying on heavy vehicles.

Learner License Fees

If you thought obtaining a learner license was affordable, think again. The proposed fee for a learner license is expected to jump from the current Rs. 60 to Rs. 500, showcasing an astonishing percentage change of 733.33%. Aspiring drivers may need to reconsider their plans for learning to drive, given the considerable cost increase.

International Driving License

The hefty hikes don't just apply to domestic licenses; the proposal also extends to International Driving Licenses. If approved, obtaining an International Driving License would require a fee of Rs. 4,000, reflecting a noteworthy percentage increase from the existing amount.

The fate of the proposed driving license fee hike now lies in the hands of the provincial government. If approved, Punjab drivers will have to brace themselves for a significant financial impact when it comes to obtaining or renewing their licenses. Stay informed and prepared for any updates on this matter.
