The caretaker government of Punjab has made the decision to proceed with the implementation of higher driving license fees without any further delays, and these changes are now in effect as of today.
Earlier, the caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi had deferred the implementation of the fees on two occasions. Naqvi had encouraged citizens to obtain their driving licenses at the existing rates before the scheduled fee increase.

Previously, the caretaker government in Punjab had introduced an online facility for obtaining a driving learner’s license. According to Mohsin Naqvi, citizens have the option to apply online through the Punjab Police app, and this service is also accessible at 737 police stations and all Khidmat Marakiz across Punjab.
A few weeks ago, Faisal Yousaf, the Chairman of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), reported that more than 2.6 million new learner driving licenses have been issued throughout the province since the launch of a new system on December 1 by the PITB.
