A driving license is a necessary government-approved ID proof, but it has an expiry date. Driving a vehicle with an expired license can invite huge fines. Hence, one should ensure its renewal happens on or before its expiry date. However, the renewal process for people above 60 years is slightly different. Here we will discuss the validity of a driving licence for older women in India and how to renew it.
It is a myth, there are no separate rules for women and men when it comes to driving laws in India. It is a misinformation, that the age of licenses expiration for women is 60 and men 65.
The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019 states that:
Please note that there is no mention of gender here; hence, the same rules apply to the validity of driving licenses for older women and men in India.
After a person crosses 60 years, the driving license renewal needs to be done every 3- 5 years. You can go to the government’s Sarathi Parivahan website and submit a renewal application online.
According to the website, it will consider an application for renewal not more than one month before the date of expiry of the license.
If the application is submitted late, more than five years after its expiry, the applicant will have to go through all the formalities once again to obtain a new license.
Additionally, the person may be required to submit a medical certificate. The certificate will declare whether the applicant has any issues that could interfere with their driving skills, like vision-related defects, deafness, night blindness etc.
The remaining process will be the same as a regular application for a driving license renewal.
Steps for getting a medical certificate for a driver’s license before it expires
You can quickly get the driver’s license renewal medical form from the RTO office or the Sarathi Parivahan website if you want to opt for the online mode. All you have to do is:
A driving license is a mandatory requirement for driving a vehicle legally. By keeping the points mentioned above in mind, driving will become hassle-free, as you now know the validity of a driver’s license for older women in the country and how to go about its renewal when it expires.

If a woman insists on her prospective groom earning enough to keep her comfortable, she is not being “lazy”. She is just being practical, just like men!
When an actress described women as “lazy” because they choose not to have careers and insist on only considering prospective grooms who earn a lot, many jumped to her defence.
Many men (and women) shared stories about how “choosy” women have now become.
One wrote in a now-deleted post that when they were looking for a bride for her brother, the eligible women all laid down impossible conditions – they wanted the groom to be not more than 3 years older than them, to earn at least 50k per month, and to agree to live in an independent flat.
Most of my women clients are caregivers—as mothers, wives and daughters. And so, they tend to feel guilty about their ambitions. Belief in themselves is hard to come by.

“I don’t want to take a pay cut and accept the offer, but everyone around me is advising me to take up what comes my way,” Tanya* told me over the phone while I was returning home from the New Delhi World Book Fair. “Should I take it up?” She summed up her dilemma and paused.
I have been coaching Tanya for the past three months. She wants to change her industry, and we have been working together on a career transition roadmap.
