What is the minimum age for a driving licence?

In India, the minimum age for a driving licence depends on the vehicle type. For gearless motorcycles up to 50cc, you can apply at 16 years with parental consent. For private motor vehicles, including geared two-wheelers and cars, the minimum age is 18 years. To drive transport or commercial vehicles, you must be at least 20 years old. Applicants must first obtain a learner's licence and then pass a practical driving test at the RTO to receive a permanent licence.
