Military licences - conversion as civil licences.

One of the real VIPs who visit transport offices is the Ex-service men.

They protect the nation in the chill and ever cold borders and their sacrifice is ineffable.

When once they retire from service, they would convert their military licence to civil licences.

What we have to do?

The Government of Tamil Nadu has issued a G. O. in G O Ms.2615 Home dated 15.9.1972 which says that 5 years military experience of driving L M V, H M V will automatically qualify them for the grant of civil driving licence.

So when an ex-service man with 5 years of driving experience in military needs a civil licence that can be granted automatically by collecting the fees and without any test.

Rule 46 (5) of Tamil Nadu Motor vehicles Rules 1989 also exempts ex-service man from payment of fee for the issue and renewal of licence. But they have to pay the fees of service charge, llr etc.
