Apart from the apparent licence issuing, tax collection and registrations, Tamil Nadu RTO sees to that poper routes are assigned.

As explained in brief earlier, the TN RTO does a lot more than just issuing driving licences. Let us understand the same in elaborate details.
These operations include registration of both temporary and permanent motor vehicles that wish to run on the road. The RTO also looks after issuing the fitness certificate to the vehicles and grants multiple permits to commercial vehicles as well. Moreover, it also collects motor vehicle tax and fees related to issuing and renewing of the passengers/goods vehicle permits.
Here, the RTO is responsible for issuing and renewing different motor driving licences to private and commercial vehicle drivers. To grant a permanent driving licence to an applicant, the RTO conducts a driving test, maintains the centres for these exams, and provides application forms for the same.
The RTO is also responsible for issuing duplicate driving licences and No Objection certificate. Likewise, the ownership transfer and changes in driving licence details responsibility fall on the TN RTO. Other essential duties include granting tourist permits and collection of road tax.
The TN RTO also undertakes several projects and initiatives to maintain road safety, oversee traffic conditions in the state during emergencies, control vehicle pollution, etc.
