Driving licences in India may have different colours: Check all changes in plan and why

Draft amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules also propose a 75% passing threshold, free changes to personal details, Aadhaar-based fee waivers for select online services, and a 15-day deadline for licence updates.
