Power of Central Government to make rules
AI Assist
Summary
Central Government can make detailed rules about licences and related procedures: the forms and documents for learner's and driving licences, medical certificates, test particulars, fees, minimum qualifications, authorities, specified offences and other prescribed matters. These rules apply whenever the Act refers to matters to be prescribed and they set the procedure and standards to be followed.
