Driving License: With time, the world is getting smarter, so why should the driving license be old? Smart card driving license looks like a credit or debit card. Its biggest feature is the microprocessor chip present in it, which contains every detail related to the driver. The old driving license looked like a notebook or booklet, but now it has been upgraded and made smart.
Meaning of Form 7 Rule 16 (2)
You must have noticed that Form 7 Rule 16 (2) is written on the back of your driving license, which means that your smart card is laminated and has a chip in which all your details are hidden. During vehicle checking, just by scanning this chip, all your details will be available.
Whenever you apply for a smart card, you will get both Form 7 Rule 16 (1) and Form 7 Rule 16 (2). 1 is a smart card without chip and 2 is a smart card with chip. Overall, if you want to apply for a laminated card or smart card, you will have to fill Form 7. After this, when you will be issued a card, Form 7 Rule 16 (2) or (1) will be written on it.
