Bangalore-specific notes

Bangalore has multiple sub-RTOs authorised for LL and DL — Koramangala, Indiranagar, Jayanagar, Electronic City, Yelahanka and others. Your LL and DL must be applied at the sub-RTO with jurisdiction over your current address (Aadhaar address typically governs this). Karnataka uses the central Sarathi portal (parivahan.gov.in/sarathiservice) for all licence operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

After driving licence test what next?

After you clear the driving test at the Bangalore sub-RTO, the DL approval is entered into the Sarathi system the same day. The smart-card DL is printed centrally and dispatched to your address in 10–15 days. Sevantay tracks the dispatch status and delivers the card.

Do I need to attend driving school?

Not legally — driving school is optional for private LMV (car/bike) licences. However, if you do not have a car to bring to the test, a driving school vehicle can be rented for the test day. Sevantay arranges this on request.

How many questions are in the LL test?

15 multiple-choice questions; you need 9 correct to pass. The test is available in English and Kannada. We share a Karnataka-specific question bank before your test.

Can I get an international driving permit (IDP) through you?

Yes — once you have a valid Karnataka DL, we run a separate short workflow for the IDP (1-year validity). Not part of this bundle.

What if I fail the DL driving test?

You can retake the test after 7 days. Sevantay books the fresh slot and you do not pay our service fee again for the second attempt.
