Navigating Pune’s RTO Network

Getting a driving license in the “Automobile Hub of India” is a standardized yet rigorous process. In 2026, the Pune Regional Transport Office has fully integrated with the Sarathi 4.0 platform, offering “Faceless Services” for all Pune residents. Whether you are under the jurisdiction of MH-12 (Sangamwadi/Phule Nagar) or MH-14 (Pimpri-Chinchwad)**, your journey begins with an Aadhaar-linked digital application.

Pune is home to the CIRT (Central Institute of Road Transport), which pioneered India’s first video-analytics-based Automated Driving Testing Track (ADTT)**. This means that at testing grounds like Phule Nagar or Bhosari**, your driving skills are evaluated by sensors and high-definition cameras, ensuring a 100% transparent and merit-based licensing system.

Pro Tip: Most LLR (Learner’s License) tests in Pune are now conducted online via home-proctoring. Ensure your mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar to avoid physical visits to the Sangamwadi office for verification.

2026 Pune RTO Fees & Testing Rules

  • H-Track & Parallel Parking: For cars (Must not hit sensors/poles).
  • Gradient (Slope) Test: Ensuring the vehicle does not roll back more than 6 inches.
