Just add 543 years onto the Western calendar as this was the year Buddha was born 543 BC.

It is easy to remember: 1990 plus 543 Jahre = 2533.
(So now is 2024 + 543 =2567)
(So now is 2024 + 543 =2567)

ORIGINAL POSTERI have a DL already issued 1990 I don't hv it with me right now... that would mean about 2532. Just wondering if it was a lifetime issued licence or an expiry one
Mike *******
2567 now so 2533
Graham ******
It's now 2567 so do the maths. A DL (first) is now 2 years then after that you get one every 5 years if renewed.
