Good to know
- States may add service or smart card charges, so the total you pay can be higher than the central fee. Delhi, for example, shows ₹500 for one class.
- Minimum age: 16 for gearless two wheelers up to 50cc (with parent consent), 18 for other private vehicles, 20 for transport vehicles.
- Use only sarathi.parivahan.gov.in or your state transport site. Ignore agents who promise a pass without a test.
