Pune: RTO to remain shut on Nov 1 for Bhau Beej, open next 7 days

After November 1 was declared a holiday by the government on the occasion of Bhau Beej, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) has decided that those who had taken a prior appointment, to obtain a learner’s licence or permanent licence, will have the option of visiting the RTO on any of the next seven days.

“We have stopped taking appointments for that day after we received the holiday notification. However, we have already received several hundred applications through the online system. All of these applicants will be given the option of visiting the Pune RTO office and Deputy RTO Office in Pimpri-Chinchwad on any day between November 2 to 9 to get their work done,” said a statement by the RTO.

No driving tests will be held at the Institute of Driving Training and Research on November 1 and those who have booked an appointment for the test would be able to report for the same in the next seven days.
