Can I use a UK driving licence in India?

Yes, you can use a UK driving licence in India, but it must be accompanied by a valid International Driving Permit (IDP). For India, you typically require the 1949 version of the IDP. This combination allows you to drive legally for up to one year. If you plan to stay or reside in India for more than twelve months, you must apply for an Indian driving licence through your local Regional Transport Office (RTO). Always carry your original UK licence, the IDP, and your passport while driving.
