Know Everything about RTO Registration Process
Congratulations on getting a new vehicle! The next step is to register your new vehicle with the regional transport office (RTO). The new vehicle registration process is mandatory for all vehicle owners to drive legally in India. The RTO registration process for new vehicles is relatively simple; it requires you to obtain a unique identification number for your vehicle so that it can be identified correctly.
Visiting the RTO in your area is essential for new car registration, as the RTO regulates all motor vehicles in the country. It is a crucial step in vehicle ownership as the registration number of any vehicle is permanent and is valid up to 15 years from the date of issue and does not change under any circumstances, even when the ownership is transferred to someone else. Here you will learn about the RTO registration process for a new car along with simple steps to follow and new car RTO registration charges, among other things.
How Do You Register Your New Vehicle?You usually have three options for registering your new car with the RTO:
- Do it yourself (which you will learn in this guide)
- Ask your dealer
- Hire an agent
Generally, the car dealer applies for car RTO registration and obtains the permanent registration number for your vehicle on your behalf. However, in some cases, the dealer may provide you with a temporary registration number and you may have to do the rest of the procedure.
What Is the Difference Between Temporary and Permanent Registration Number?Since new vehicle registration at the RTO can take some time, you are given a temporary registration number from the dealer. This is because the car dealer registers the vehicle with the RTO on a temporary basis. As soon as you purchase a vehicle, the dealer provides a temporary registration number for the vehicle, which is valid for a month. This is done to stay compliant with the legal guidelines of the country.
It is the owner’s responsibility to obtain a permanent registration number for the vehicle from the RTO under their name. Within one month of purchasing the vehicle, you must obtain the permanent registration number for your new car. This permanent registration number will be registered with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), and it will not change under any circumstances after being issued.
Steps for RTO New Vehicle RegistrationHere is a breakdown of the process you need to follow for four-wheeler registration with the RTO:
Step 1:Visit the local RTO in your new vehicle (make sure you have a valid driving license).Step 2:Fill out Form 20 and submit it with the required documents at the RTO. Here is a list of the required documents:
- Form 21 or sale certificate issued by your car dealer as a proof of ownership
- Invoice of the new vehicle provided by your dealer
- Custom’s Clearance Certificate in case your vehicle is imported
- Form 51 or vehicle insurance certificate with active insurance that covers third-party liability at a minimum
- Road worthiness certificate (Form 22), which you can obtain through the Parivahan Sewa website
- Photocopy of Aadhar card, voter ID, passport, or utility bills (such as an electricity bill) as proof of address
- Temporary registration number (TRN) shared by your dealer
- Photocopy of Aadhar card, PAN card, passport, etc. as proof of identity
- Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC), which can be obtained by visiting a registered emissions test centre or through the VAHAN portal of Parivahan Sewa
- Road tax challan, which can be obtained by paying the road tax through the Parivahan Sewa website online
- Two passport-sized photographs of the vehicle owner
- PAN card of the vehicle’s owner if the vehicle costs more than ₹4 lakh
- Form 34, in case you purchased your vehicle on the hypothecation (HP) scheme
In case your application is missing something, the officials at RTO will guide you through the process.
Once you submit your documents, the RTO superintendent will scrutinise your application and verify all the documents you have provided.
Step 3:Pay the RTO registration cost at the designated counter; you can also pay your road tax during this step.
Step 4:Get your vehicle physically examined by the Inspector of Motor Vehicles (IMV) to verify the information you have provided, such as chassis number and engine number.
After this scrutiny, the RTO superintendent will enter your new vehicle’s data and verify it. The Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO) will approve the vehicle registration after final scrutiny.
Step 5: Receive the registration certificate (RC) of your new vehicle after a few days or weeks on your registered address via post.Can You Go for an Online Vehicle Registration?

When you buy insurance from your car dealer, you might miss out on the opportunity to compare policies from different insurance providers. This lack of comparison could result in you settling for a policy that doesn't offer the best coverage or value for your specific needs. Without exploring alternative options, you might overlook better deals or more comprehensive coverage available elsewhere.
Dealer-provided insurance policies may come with limited flexibility. Since these policies are often bundled with the purchase of the vehicle, you may have less freedom to customize your coverage according to your requirements. This rigidity could mean being locked into terms and conditions that aren't tailored to your preferences or lifestyle changes.
The insurance offered by car dealerships typically provides fixed coverage levels without much room for adjustment. This one-size-fits-all approach might not adequately address your unique risk factors or financial circumstances. Consequently, you could end up with either insufficient coverage, leaving you vulnerable to potential losses, or paying for coverage you don't actually need.
Dealer-provided insurance often comes with a limited selection of add-on coverage options. While these add-ons may seem comprehensive at first glance, they might not encompass all the protections you desire. You might find yourself needing additional coverage that isn't available through the dealership, leading to extra expenses or gaps in your insurance protection.
In today's digital age, many insurance companies offer streamlined, digital-first experiences that prioritize convenience and accessibility. However, dealer-provided insurance may lag behind in this aspect, lacking the user-friendly digital interfaces and online services that modern consumers expect. This absence of digital capabilities could make managing your policy more cumbersome and time-consuming.
Remember, while dealer-provided insurance might seem convenient when buying a new vehicle, it's important to consider the bigger picture. Exploring other insurance options can offer tailored coverage, flexibility, and potential cost savings over time. With SBI General Insurance, you can find personalized solutions like Private Car Insurance and Two-Wheeler Insurance, ensuring your coverage matches your needs perfectly. So, take the time to research and compare for the best protection.
