Changing the slot for a driving licence booking in India can be done easily through the Parivahan portal or by contacting your Regional Transport Office (RTO). Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you reschedule your appointment:
Steps to Change Driving Licence Slot
Visit the Parivahan Portal
Go to the official website: https://parivahan.gov.in.
Click on “Book a Service” > “Driving Licence” > “New Driving Licence” (if applicable) or “Change Driving Licence Booking”.
Log In to Your Account
Use your registered mobile number and password to log in. If you don’t have an account, register first using your Aadhaar number.
Find Your Existing Booking
Navigate to “Book a New Slot” and select “View/Modify Existing Booking”.
Enter your registration number or application number to locate your pending slot.
Select a New Slot
Choose a new available time slot from the calendar. Ensure the slot aligns with the RTO’s operating hours (usually 9 AM–4 PM).
Verify the dates and fees (if applicable) for the rescheduled slot.
Confirm and Pay
Proceed to payment using UPI, net banking, or credit/debit cards.
Save the confirmation page or take a screenshot for future reference.
Update RTO Records (If Required)
Some RTOs may require you to submit a revised application form (Part-II) or pay a rescheduling fee. Check with your local RTO.
Important Notes
Rescheduling Fees: A small fee (₹10–₹50) may apply for slot changes.
Last-Minute Changes: You can reschedule up to 24 hours before the original slot.
Missed Appointment: If you miss the slot, you’ll need to reapply and pay the full fee again.
Print Confirmation: Always download and preserve the e-appointment confirmation for verification.
Alternative Methods
Contact RTO Directly: Visit your local RTO office during working hours to modify the slot manually.
Call RTO helpline: Check your state-specific RTO contact details for guidance.
Troubleshooting
Slot Not Available: Try booking slots 1–2 weeks in advance.
Payment Issues: Ensure your bank details are updated, and use a stable internet connection.
Technical Errors: Clear your browser cache or try a different device.
Common Questions
Q: Can I change the slot if I have already paid?
A: Yes, but you’ll need to pay the rescheduling fee (if applicable).
Q: How do I cancel a slot instead of rescheduling?
A: Cancel the slot 24 hours before the original date via the Parivahan portal to avoid penalties.
Q: Is there a limit to how many times I can reschedule?
