Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying

Is this guide suitable for a first-time licence applicant?

Yes. It starts from the very first step — choosing your licence class — and walks through the learner's licence, the test, the documents and the fee sheet. It is equally useful for someone renewing a licence or transferring a vehicle's RC.

Is the content up to date for 2026?

Yes. Every fee, rule and date is verified from official sources — Parivahan and SARATHI, MoRTH, VAHAN, and state transport departments — as of October 2026, including the new Hazard Perception Test, the PUC crackdown and the 2026 challan schedule.

How do I download the guide after payment?

After successful payment on Razorpay, you'll be automatically redirected to a thank-you page with a download button. Click it to get your PDF instantly — it's yours forever.

Does it cover the new Hazard Perception Test?

Yes. The guide explains exactly how the computer-based Hazard Perception Test works — the 10 one-minute videos, the scoring, the 60-out-of-100 pass mark and where it sits in the test sequence — with the official notification behind it.

Do the fees apply across India?

The fee sheet gives the national base under Rule 32 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. States may add a small smart-card charge and user charges, so the guide tells you exactly where to confirm your state's total before you pay.

Can I get a refund?

Digital products are non-refundable because they're instantly downloadable. But if you receive a defective or corrupted file, or were charged incorrectly, we'll replace or resolve it — just email us within 7 days.
