Renewing a Telangana DL in Karnataka I have a DL issued by Hyderabad-Central RTO, TELANGANA (TS-09) which is due for renewal in May 2024 ( I am a senior citizen, so I have to renew my DL every five years). I got my first DL from the same RTO (which was then undivided AP) in 1977 and it has been renewed there ever since because my address was the same all these years.
Four years ago, I shifted to Mysore, Karnataka and my Aadhar now has the Mysore address. After reading some of the 'success stories' of inter-state DL renewal in this forum, I decided to get my DL renewed in Mysore.
I approached an Agent in Mysore (KA-09) and he first said it can be renewed here, no problem. But when his staff tried to check the License on the Parivahan site, it did not show up. Then the Agent said I can renew the DL in Mysore only if it shows up on Parivahan. Otherwise, I have to apply for a fresh DL in Mysore and go through the formalities like driving test.
I am able to see details of my DL on the RTA-mWallet App of Telangana Govt. I logged into the Parivahan site, but in the drop down box for States, there is no Telangana. Despite several tries, I was unable to pull up my DL information on Parivahan.
I then called an Agent whom I know in Hyderabad and he said the Telangana Govt has not given access to the Parivahan site to their database (for what reason he does not know). He suggested I renew it in Hyderabad itself. I don't know if this is true. Undivided AP was one of the first states to computerize the DL and Vehicle information. So it seems strange that this information in not available in the Parivahan site.
Is there anyway I can get my DL data updated in the Parivahan site?
Has anyone managed to renew their DL issued in Telangana in KA or another state? If yes, please let me know the procedure.
If I am unable to renew my DL here in Mysore, I have to go to Hyderabad only to renew my DL, that too in peak summer, which I don't want to do. Also, if they need address proof, I can give them my old Aadhar with Hyderabad address, but if they check the Aadhar details online, then it will show my Mysore address.
I am thinking - what if I simply let my old Telangana DL lapse and apply for a fresh DL in Mysore, do I lose anything? The fact that I have held a DL for 45 years will be lost, but does this have any value at all? |
