What is Master Pass and How it will help Motorists

Motorists have to carry their original driving license (DL) and insurance certificate. These documents should be produced for inspection if asked for by a traffic police. But there is provision under the Karnataka Motor Vehicle Rules to obtain a 'master pass' for 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers from the RTO which is a proof that the driver has valid documents which includes certificate of registration, taxation card, insurance certificate and DL.

If a motorist is carrying a master pass, there is no need to carry a DL and insurance certificate. Traffic police officers have been instructed not to stop motorists to check documents.
