  "description": "Apply for a new Learner's Licence (LL) from an Indian Regional Transport Office (RTO), the mandatory first step before sitting a driving test and being issued a full Driving Licence (DL) for any motor vehicle class. Nationally, both the LL and the DL (and renewal, addition of class, duplicate, and address/name-change requests) are made on the same Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 'Form 2', submitted through each state's instance of the Sarathi online portal (sarathi.parivahan.gov.in) or in person at the licensing RTO. This document models only the 'Issue of New Learner's Licence' service on Form 2 — the fields and declarations common to a first-time LL applicant of any age or vehicle class. It does not model: Issue of New Driving Licence, Addition of Class of Vehicle, Renewal of Driving Licence, Duplicate Driving Licence, Change/Correction of Address, or Change/Correction of Name (the form's other six selectable services, which layer additional fields such as existing-licence particulars and driving-school/test results onto the same base form); the driving test itself; or vehicle registration (a separate process on Form 20 via the VAHAN portal, out of scope of this document). It does not submit the application; the live Sarathi portal and the applicant's RTO are always authoritative — see VERIFICATION.md.",
