Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. On 17/07/2017, I had given my driving licence for renewal which expires on 24/07/2017 after paying renewal fee, doctor certificate, Aadhaar copy, photos, my old driving licence all attached and submitted to RTO Mysore east (KA-55). Till today, I have not received even I have attached postal cover with postal stamps.

2. I understand that Rs. 1000/ will be charged as penal fees if the driving license is not renewed before the expiry date. This is the new fee announced by our central government (BJP). I feel this fine is too high. We have to fight & bring down this fine. I got this information today when I had been to RTO Jaynagar, Bangalore.
