You can give your license and request renewal only when there is 15 days validity left in the existing license. The RTO will not accept it any earlier than that. And the typical time taken for getting the license renewed could be around 10-15 days MAX.
I had gotten my card type DL here in Mumbai 10 years back. You need to visit the RTO for that as they take your pic there (at least it was like that at that time). you dont even need to go to an agent or anything. and dont pay any bribe. they'll eventually give u ur DL back! I got mine after 1.5 months (although it should have taken only 2 days. but they supposedly do a verification with ur issuing RTO.) Its just a pretext for some palm greasing though.
