Exemption

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, a licence in respect of a cycle-rickshaw may be granted to a widow or to a disabled person to be plied by another person if this is the only source of her or his livelihood and in such a case it shall be lawful for the municipal authority to grant a driving licence to a person other than the owner of the cycle-rickshaw, giving full particulars of the owner and the driver engaged to ply it with a photograph of the driver. (2) A licence in respect of a cycle-rickshaw may also be granted or renewed by a municipal authority to an institution to be plied through any other person, if the institution has to ply it not for hire but to meet its own requirements of conveyance and transportation and in such a case it shall be lawful for the municipal authority to grant a driving licence to a person other than the owner of the cycle-rickshaw giving full particulars of the owner and the driver engaged to ply it with a photograph of the driver. The body of such cycle-rickshaw will be painted yellow.
