Hyderabad,Oct 28: Driving licence aspirants from Wednesday can book their online licence test slots at eSeva centres in addition to the Regional Transport Offices (RTO).The move will facilitate licence seekers book their slots without much inconvenience and curb the role of middlemen who take them for a ride. eSeva employees will assist applicants in filling up the forms without the needless worry of online booking.However, the facility is restricted to booking permanent driving licence slots and authorities are planning to extend the service for booking learners licence slots as well, said Joint Transport Commissioner B Venkateswarlu.

This apart, the service of booking slots would be provided free of cost at all the 40 eSeva centres in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts.In all,there are 18 driving tracks at Nagole, Kondapur, Medchal and Uppal RTO and nearly 1,200 licence aspirants book their test slots everyday.Owing to insufficient driving tracks, aspirants from Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts are made to wait for over a month to book a slot for taking driving licence tests.The two new tracks will facilitate nearly 200 aspirants in taking tests everyday and thereby reducing the waiting time considerably.Aspirants who had booked their slots earlier can alter them for taking the tests in advance against the slot allotted to them on the department’s website,he added.
