The Delhi government on Tuesday extended the validity of learner's licenses that expired between February 2020 and November 2021 till January 31, 2022, according to an official order.

The decision was taken in view of the COVID-19 pandemic and difficulties faced by people in getting slots for driving tests.

The Transport Department shared a copy of its order on Twitter.

"Considering numerous requests received & keeping in mind difficulties faced by Delhi Learning License holders in getting slots for Driving license test, we have extended validity of LL that has expired between 01.02.20 & 30.11.21 for 2 more months, i.e., till 31.01.22," the department tweeted.
