Form 1A Medical Certificate in Pune for Driving Licence Renewal

Yes, at 40 or over for a private licence, and for any transport licence regardless of age. It is also needed for a new driving licence application at 40 or above and for an International Driving Permit (IDP). Under 40, a private car or two wheeler renewal does not need Form 1A, unless you are applying for an adapted vehicle licence due to a physical disability. This follows Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act.

Electronically, through Sarathi. Only a doctor empanelled with the RTO (registered with the Maharashtra Medical Council, with a Sarathi account the RTO has approved) can enter your application number and attest Form 1A, which is then tagged to your application. National rules have said since 1 April 2021 that Form 1A shall only be issued electronically on the portal.

You can download the blank national form from Parivahan, but you cannot fill it in yourself. The form says it is filled in by a registered medical practitioner appointed for the purpose by the State Government, or a person it authorises. A renewal needs the Form 1A generated for your application, saved from your profile using an OTP.

Yes. The state's office list includes the Pimpri Chinchwad Deputy RTO, code MH14, at Sant Nagar, Moshi Pradhikaran. The Pune Regional Transport Office, listed as Pune 1 (MH12), is on Dr. Ambedkar Road near Sangam Bridge. Since 2019 the Act has allowed driving licence applications to any licensing authority in Maharashtra.

Yes, when your renewal needs a medical certificate. Form 1A is the medical certificate under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, and Maharashtra's transport department lists a Form 1A medical certificate among the documents for renewal. A medical certificate for a job, college or sick leave is a different document, so ask for Form 1A specifically.

The doctor does. In Maharashtra the doctor enters your application number on Sarathi and attests Form 1A there, and it is tagged to your application. With us, our empanelled doctor attests and approves it on the portal if your application mobile number is tied to your Aadhaar through an OTP. You also get a digital copy.

For six months after it is issued. Before notification G.S.R. 240(E) took effect on 1 April 2021, the period under Rule 5(3) was one year. A Form 1A older than six months is out of date, so get a new one.

The state transport department's fee page lists ₹416 for licence renewal, and ₹1,000 a year for applications made after the extended period. If a driving test is required, central Rule 32 sets ₹300 for each vehicle class. The ₹1,349 we charge for Form 1A is in addition to these.

Yes, but you will have to clear a driving test first. Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act bars renewal more than a year after expiry unless the test of competence to drive is passed. Inside that year, no test is needed.

₹1,349 for the online self test with a digital Form 1A, which we send on WhatsApp or email. Payment of ₹1,349 for the process is non refundable. Allow up to 72 working hours* after you share your application number, the downloaded Form 1A PDF and complete the ear and eye self test. We are open Monday to Saturday, between 10:30 am and 8:00 pm IST. Physical copies are not provided.

So that our doctor can approve the form on the Maharashtra portal. The empanelled doctor attests and approves Form 1A on the portal, a step that works only when your Aadhaar is linked, through an OTP, to the phone number in the renewal application. Check the link before you book, as the fee cannot be refunded.

The form covers eyesight, including number plate reading at 25 metres, hearing of ordinary sound signals, night blindness and any limb problem that affects driving. Its certification section also names a personal examination, with attention to distant vision, hearing, arms, legs, hands and joints, and colour vision on a standard Ishihara chart.
