what is cov in driving licence

COV stands for "Class of Vehicle" on an Indian driving licence. It is the crucial section that specifies the exact category of motor vehicle the licence holder is legally authorized to operate. Common examples of COVs include LMV (Light Motor Vehicle), MCWG (Motor Cycle with Gear), and Transport Vehicle. This classification ensures that you only drive vehicles for which you have successfully completed the required testing. Your licence will clearly list the COV for each vehicle type you are permitted to drive on public roads.
