India Allows Learner's Driving Licence at 16 for Gearless Motorcycles with Conditions

In India, individuals aged 16 can apply for a learner's driving licence to operate motorcycles without gears (up to 50cc), subject to parental consent and specific conditions. Applicants aged 18 or older can apply for licences to drive cars and geared motorcycles. The application process involves submitting documents, paying fees, and passing a learner's test via the Parivahan or Sarathi portals or at local RTOs. The learner's licence is valid for up to 180 days and allows supervised practice before obtaining a permanent licence.
