I have a regular driving license and want to start a taxi business. I plan to manage a team of drivers, but sometimes I might need to drive myself if a driver is unavailable. Can I drive a commercial taxi using my regular license? If not, what are the consequences?

No, you cannot legally drive a commercial taxi with a regular driving license in India. Doing so violates the Motor Vehicles Act, and you could face fines, suspension of your license, and even imprisonment depending on the circumstances.

If so, could the petitioner seek substantial compensation from the State department responsible for appointing this body?
