How to get online appointment? A guiding video in Gujarati language is presented above

Ahmedabad, 1 March 2012

RTO Ahmedabad (Subhash bridge and Vastral) and Gandhinagar have launched online appointment system for learning driving license from today onwards.

As per the new system, an applicant would have to first take online appointment and then only he/she would have to turn up at the RTO office.

Thanks to the new system, an applicant will face lesser waiting period at the RTO office, which could be just around 15 minutes in most of the cases.

According to RTO official Shri Jyotish Bhatt, the http://sarathi.nic.in website will have online form in which a slot of date and hour will be mentioned. The applicant will have to fill suitable time and date and submit a form. The available period for appointment will be in range of two months.

Shri Bhatt said that per hour 100 persons get learning license. Many of applicants come to the RTO office early in the morning and sit in queue. They also have to take token.

But under the online appointment system, the applicant will be able to come to RTO office during 11.00 am and 2.00 pm. Those having appointment will immediately allow to enter the office and will be given license within 15 minutes.

The RTO office has capacity to issue 270 license per hour.

It should be mentioned that online appointment system is only for learning license at this time. However, based on this experience, in future the renewal, duplicate and other tasks can also be put under this system. The online appointment system will be implemented in all RTO offices of Gujarat in phase manner.

Presently License and RC books are sent to applicant’s address through speed-post, but in many cases when there’s no one available at applicant’s address at the time of delivery, there’s an issue. The RTO office has not launched SMS system to counter this problem. Now onwards an applicant will have to write his/her mobile number in form no.1. He/she would be notified about delivery of speed post in advance through SMS.
