Published by Adv. Rajesh Verma on 18 September 2026

1. Aadhaar e-KYC vs Non-Aadhaar Physical RTO Slot

Under Rule 11 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR) 1989 and latest MoRTH circulars, applicants can choose between two streams:

1. Faceless Aadhaar Authentication (Recommended): Zero physical visits to RTO. Address is auto-fetched from UIDAI, and the test is conducted via AI facial recognition on your laptop/mobile webcam.

2. Non-Aadhaar Flow: Requires physical appointment booking at your local RTO counter, biometric verification, and physical desktop terminal test.


2. Step-by-Step Sarathi Portal Application

  • Step 1: Visit sarathi.parivahan.gov.in and select your State.
  • Step 2: Click "Apply for Learner Licence" $\to$ Select "Applicant holds Aadhaar Card".
  • Step 3: Complete Aadhaar OTP authentication. Name, Father's name, and residential address are auto-populated.
  • Step 4: Select Vehicle Class:
  • MCWOG: Motorcycle Without Gear (Engine $\le 50\text{cc}$, Age 16+)
