What Next?

Affix the stamp on the top right corner of your requisition letter (R.L hereafter for convenience) underneath the date.
Staple the photocopy of your driving license along with this R.L and be ready.
Take the stairs and reach to the first floor of the RTO office and look for the very first counter on to your right side. You are lucky if you have a short queue for this counter. 
Please submit the requisition letter and tell the officer that you need a driving license extract for applying a foreign D.L. (Or whatever your reason is.)
Upon checking your R.L and verification, the officer might direct you to pay the fees ( INR 90) if all is ok, else you might get new instructions to follow. 
After paying your fees, you will get 2 copies of your receipt. One of that needs to be affixed on the R.L and handed over at the last counter. Keep the other one for your reference.
You will be asked to come back in 2 days to collect the extract, usually it is around 5 p.m. 


That is all folks.
