What is a Transport License?

A Transport License (also called a Commercial Driving License) is an official permit issued by the RTO that allows you to drive vehicles used for commercial purposes, such as:

Goods vehicles (trucks, tempos, pick-up vans)
Passenger vehicles (auto-rickshaws, taxis, buses)
School vans, delivery vehicles, and cabs

Unlike a private license, a transport license involves stricter eligibility, driver training, and medical fitness verification due to higher road safety responsibilities.

Who Needs a Transport License?

You are required to obtain a transport/commercial license if:

You are a driver for a company or delivery service
You plan to drive a vehicle for hire or reward
You operate a passenger vehicle or goods vehicle
You’re applying for Uber, Ola, Zomato, Swiggy, or logistics jobs

Driving a commercial vehicle with a private license is illegal and may lead to hefty fines or license suspension.
