The Punjab Transport Department vide its notification dated 16th December 2020 has extended the last date for digital license upgradation till 15th January 2020.
In order to empower people to upgrade their manual driving licenses in to Digital Driving License, a special campaign was launched by Transport Department in November 2020. The objective of campaign is to allow manual driving license holders to get their Driving License reflected in SARTHI application by submitting an online application at www.punjabtransport.org or www.sarathi.parivahan.gov.in. After approval, applicant can get his digital Driving License in mParivahan mobile application or Digilocker.
However, the manual driving License holders were unable to get all services available in SARATHI web application and their Driving license could not be verified by the enforcement authorities while checking. Notably, the driving licenses were being issued manually before the implementation of VAHAN and SARATHI applications.
