The next service provided by the Sheikh Sarai authority is the issuance of a driving licence to every eligible candidate. To determine the right candidates, the RTO authorities conduct a driving test where they check the applicants driving skills and knowledge of basic traffic rules and regulations.
After the test, the applicants are allocated the types of driving licences best suitable for their skills and situation. These are the different types of driving licences issued by the Sheikh Sarai RTO authorities.
Learner’s Driving Licence: This type of driving licence is allotted to applicants who want to get a permanent licence. It is a temporary licence with a validity of 6 months from the date of issue.

Commercial Driving Licence: A commercial driving licence is different from the above licences. Such a licence is issued to individuals who want to drive heavy, moderate and light transport and goods vehicles.
As these vehicles are used for commercial purposes, their drivers have more responsibility for them. Thus, they are trained by government-driving teaching centres.
Issuing Vehicle Fitness Certificate
The Sheikh Sarai RTO authority is also responsible for timely checking the health of vehicles running in their region. They conduct fitness tests on the roadworthiness of the vehicles and their remaining lifetime. Depending on the results obtained from their tests, they issue vehicle fitness certificates to the vehicle owners.
Drivers can also get their certificate by getting their vehicles tested at frequent intervals voluntarily. This will not only give you estimates of your vehicle’s health but also protect you from any accidents etc., in case your vehicle’s health is deteriorating.
Pollution/Environment Certificate
The rising pollution and declining air quality in Delhi have forced the government and RTO offices to take strict steps. To maintain the health of Delhi’s people, the RTO offices like Sheikh Sarai RTO conduct PUC tests to check the vehicle’s compliance with the environmental standards.
These tests tell whether the vehicle is emitting more pollutants in the environment than it should, depending on the type of vehicle. If you pass the PUC test, you will be given the Pollution clearance certificate by the RTO officer. Note that these tests are conducted every few months.
