Kahani Do Driving License Application ki!!!
Driving License from Mumbai RTO Driving License from New Jersey, USA RTO
I would like to share here my experience of applying for my new Driving License in India and
USA, and the difference in the way RTO work in these countries.
Indian Experience:
It was in September 2001 when I just turned 19 year old and thought of making my 2 wheeler
Driving License (DL) in Mumbai RTO and the very simple to look process of applying and
getting your driving license had expose me to so many trivial realities of life in India. I realized
the fact that the basic skill like riding bike, reading, writing and having all relevant documents
wont help you much sinceits not just about driving the bike, knowing few basic traffic rule and
filling up the RTO form. Infact these things can mere reduce to Hygiene factors or factor
without which still one can get the DL provided he takes help of one single, simple and easy
substitute entity called Agent.
My experience of making my own DL has thought me that in Mumbai RTO atleast you wont be
able to work without our dear Agent as their intervention is must or one need to take their
forced help to make ones DL successfully.
And, my final takeaway was that the entire process of getting your DL is inherently made so
complex and people unfriendly that you must need an Agent intervention and thus I conclude
that the corruption is so deep rooted in the Indian RTO that it looks like both cannot exist
without each other and further I thought this should be same thought the world.

USA Experience:
Years pass by and in September 2007, I happen to be in New Jersey, USA for my job. Since my
stay was long I thought of applying for my DL in NJ office but here the entire process was an
eye-opener for me.
I was simply amazed by the simplicity and transparency of the entire system. Foremost, you
have to study a 100 page booklet issue by USA RTO on traffic rules and regulations, then need
to appear for exam, give a thorough driving test and needs to have your all documents in place.
To my surprise I got the one year DL of NJ within three hours from the RTO and that too
without taking help from any agent or from anyone.
The fact that I was first time visitor and still able to get my DL so easily and without anyone
intervention, forced me to think to change my thought that processes in RTO worldwide are
inherently complex and without someoneshelp, we cannot have it.
What was the observed difference?
Observing the below differences, which these two countries RTO display, I strongly feel that if
we try to emulate the process and procedure followed in USA RTO, but with suitable
adaptability with Indian culture and environment, the corruption in the Indian RTO will
definitely reduce, if not completely removed.
Sr.No. India RTO USA RTO
1 Unorganized office structure Highly organized Office structure
2 Less use of IT/ System in application
process
High use of IT/ System in application process
3 High manual intervention Low manual intervention
4 Processes are not followed seriously Processes are followed very seriously
5 Purposely the process are made
complicated
The process are simple and people friendly
6 Agent participation are encourage by
official
Agent doesnt exist in the system
7 Serving such a high number of population
with existing infrastructure is challenged
Population is manageable in accordance
with available staff
8 The official cost of making a DL is INR 500
but if included Agent charges it becomes
INR 1500 (i.e. 3 time of the official cost) so
emphasis should be there to upgrade the
entire system and recover the cost by
charging high to public say INR 1000. Still
there will be a big saving for people
The official cost of making a DL is around
USD125 (approx. INR 6000) which 12x times
of Indian RTO cost but the service they
provide is justifiable against such a high
charges

Can we really fight against the corruption?
Inspite of implementing all the necessary changes by our learning from above mentioned
differences, the system can only yield desire result, if and only if:
There is a very strong commitment from the official and politician in the country to weedout the corruption completely from the system
There should be awareness among the general people (aam aadmi) and willingness toparticipate in drive against corruption
Right from elementary school level we should start making every student aware of thesocial evil corruption cause to society at large
Government should make law to severely punish anyone involved in corruption People who all follow the rule & regulation, and voice their opinion against the corruption
should be given some kind of incentive or public recognition. This will encourage others to
join the drive against the corruption.
Final Conclusion:
The changes which we are trying to bring in the system cannot be achieved only if we wait for
government to take the necessary action for all possible problems in the world. Someone
should stand against the existing system and motivate other to join the moment. But question
is can we really have someone who have the ability to motivate entire nation against
corruption? Well, I can just say there are ample of living example around us and its just left to
us to learn from them and start implementing the changes which we would like to see.
