The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on Friday issued an advisory to all the States and the Union Territories extending the validity of driver’s licences, permits and registration documents till June 30.

“Documents which had expired since February 1, 2020, or would expire by March 31, 2021, the same may be treated to be valid till June 30, 2021,” the Ministry said in a letter to the DGPs, Principal Secretaries and Transport Commissioners of all the States and UTs. This is the fourth extension since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The letter says, “this may be the last advisory in this regard”, indicating there may not be any further extensions.
