In India you do have to submit the FIR when applying for replacement DL won't that be a problem? Because it is actually not lost/stolen but you know you surrendered it. Sorry to bother you just trying to look at it from different angles.I can't speak for Canada but it sure wasn't the case for the multiple countries I've had to trade my license in (US included). I doubt the Indian RTO keeps any record of anything to be honest...
