DL Link with Mobile Number: If your mobile number isn’t already linked to your driving license , now’s the time to do it. Previously, this required going to the RTO office, filling out forms, and waiting in line for hours. But now, this task can be done from home in minutes.
Why is it important to link your mobile number?
Many people wonder, “What difference does it make?” But it actually has many benefits.

Every update from RTO directly on the phone – be it any new guideline or need for verification, everything comes on the mobile.
