The Centre has further extended the validity of the soon-to-expire motor vehicle documents, such as driving licence, till September.
It was announced by Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways and MSMEs Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday.
In March, Gadkari in an advisory to states and Union Territories had said the validity of "fitness, permit (all types), driving licence, registration or any other concerned document" whose extension could not be completed due to lockdown would last till June 30.
Considering that the situation for prevention of Covid-19 still continued and as per the requests received, Gadkari asked the ministry to extend the period to September 30, it said in a statement.
