To drive a car or any type of vehicle wherever in the globe, you have to abide by the traffic laws, which call for a driver's license, a pollution card, and other documentation. The most crucial and fundamental of these documents is a driver's license, which is required in order to operate a motor vehicle. If your driver's license has expired in such a circumstance, have it reissued right away.

Although it is normal for your driver's license to expire over time, you should renew it because allowing it to do so for an extended period of time may result in the license being revoked, which can cause needless problems.  You might have to pay a fine and even go through the process of applying for a new license, which is required to create a new license.  Let's find out how to extend it.
 
1. The grace period for renewal
 
 A driving license in india is granted for a specific amount of time.  There is a 30-day grace period after its expiration to renew it.  The renewal charge is Rs 400 if it is done within 30 days.  You might be required to pay a late fee of up to ₹1500 if you renew after 30 days.
 
2. Validity of license
 
 A driving license in india is only good for a certain amount of time, according to the Motor vehicles Act.  A driver's license must be renewed every ten years after its initial 40-year validity.  The renewal time is shortened to five years after you turn fifty.  Your license will be terminated and you will have to go through the complete application process for a new license if you do not renew it within a year of its expiration.
