what is smart card driving licence

A Smart Card Driving Licence (SCDL) is a modern, tamper-proof version of the traditional paper Driving Licence. It is a durable plastic card that looks like a debit or credit card and contains an embedded microchip. This chip securely stores all essential driving and personal information, such as the holder's name, address, and biometric details. This system makes the license easier for authorities to verify, aids in tracking defaulters, and supports India's move toward digital governance. It is more secure and convenient to carry than old paper licenses.
