If you've never seen a completed Form 1A before, it can be hard to know whether the version your doctor handed back is correctly filled. This page walks through what each section should look like in a properly-completed Form 1A so you can verify before submitting it to the RTO.
We deliberately do not publish a copy of someone else's filled Form 1A — that would risk identity exposure. Instead, this is a section-by-section description of what should be present.

Prefer clarity before you pay?
Read the steps + FAQs below. Written for patients, not policy documents.
Choose the closest match so the certificate format and wording fit your use case.
If a section is left blank or partially filled, the RTO can reject the upload at verification — so the most important check is completeness.
Clear guidance and an application flow designed for real-world acceptance.
A common error is an unsigned or unstamped Section 4. The doctor must sign with their full name and add their clinic / hospital stamp showing their registration number.

Names must match exactly across Form 1A and the Sarathi application. Even minor spelling differences (Anil vs Aneel) can cause RTO rejection.

Pick the right option so the certificate matches what your HR/college expects.

Follow the next step and submit complete details to avoid delays.
Confirm Section 3 has actual values for vision (e.g., '6/6' or '6/9'), BP (e.g., '120/80'), and the doctor's fitness statement in Section 4.

Verify before you leave
Catching a missing field at the doctor's office takes 30 seconds. Catching it at RTO upload takes a fresh examination.
Privacy matters
Don't share your filled Form 1A on social media or messaging apps — it contains your full address, ID, and medical findings.
Digital and paper Form 1A look the same
An online-issued PDF should have all the same sections filled. The signature is digital but the rest is identical to a paper original.
Written in plain language to reduce doubts.
Be cautious. Any 'sample filled Form 1A' you find online either has someone's real personal data (which they shouldn't have published) or is a generic template. Use this walkthrough to verify your own form rather than copying from a sample.
Missing doctor's signature, missing stamp, missing registration number, or a name mismatch with the Sarathi application. These are also the top reasons for RTO rejection at upload.
Either is acceptable, but it must be a valid registration number from a recognised state medical council or the National Medical Commission (formerly MCI). The number should be legible.
Most RTOs expect both — a clinic stamp/seal and the doctor's signature. A printed letterhead alone is usually not sufficient as it does not carry the doctor's certification weight.
Strikethrough corrections initialled by the doctor are usually accepted. Whitener is risky — it can be interpreted as tampering. If a section needs significant correction, ask for a fresh Form 1A.
