31st Oct 1999 Jagdeep Nagdev @bom7.vsnl.net.in
Hi! Everyone
I would like to get some info on IDP. Before that I shall tell u the
foll
1. I do not have a normal licence . i basically want to go through a
channel from where I can get both the Indian as well as the IDP. of course
I am well aware that one has to acquire the Indian licence before one goes
for the Intnl one. 2. These motor training schools promise IDP after the
normal licence is issued is this true do they actually give the IDP. 3.
Which is the fastest way to acquire IDP after one acquires the normal
licence. 4. Anyone from B'bay who can tell me which is a good motor
training school in B'bay(i stay at Sion) which shall serve my purposes.
Pls guide me with my queries. I shall be grateful. Thanks!! in advance.
Regards
Jagdeep

Hi There is a Guide Motor Training School, halfway between the hospital and the circle on the same side as Sion Hospital, a little beyond Cosmopolitan. You can get both licences on the same day, if you are lucky. Once you have the local licence, you have to apply for the IDP - there is no test for it and you get it virtually immediately. I know, I did it. With regards MFM ___________________________________ Rants, reviews, essays and writings www.manfrommatunga.com [email protected]

Hi, An IDP can be got for a sum of Rs 200 only payed at the cash counter .(RTO Andheri) go at 10.30 am ,get your Passport details verified and pay the cash ,then go home . The process takes 20 min ,if no crowd is present . Collect the IDP between 4 to 5 pm the same day ,strictly . OF course do get your indian License first . I suggest dont go thru the school for the IDP .The process is very friendly as you get the IDP the same day .

Jagdeep, In response to your questions about the IDP, I have personally been in a similiar situation where I was leaving for the US in a matter of weeks and didn't have either the Indian license nor an IDP. I contacted the WIAA office near Churchgate Station and they were very helpful, and I got both before I left. Hope this helps, Dhruv
