New Bike Registration Via RTO and Vahan Portal

RTO is an abbreviation for Regional Transport Office. All bike or scooter owners should register their vehicles to adhere to the Motor Vehicle Act. Since the RTO regulates all bikes in India, two-wheeler owners may go to their regional RTO and do bike registration after purchasing them. The officers of the Regional Transport Office will inspect your two-wheeler, approve it, and put forward a registration number.

The two-wheeler registration procedure for private and commercial two-wheelers varies. RTO registration has two options: dealer registration or self-registration. You can have your dealer register your new two-wheeler or do it all by yourself by visiting a nearby RTO.

Here are some of the steps we have outlined to help you register your new two-wheeler:

• Bring your new bike to your local RTO
• Request Form 20, complete and submit it
• The RTO Superintendent will review and check the papers
• After your credentials have been confirmed, you must pay the two-wheeler registration cost at the counter
• Your new two-wheeler will then be inspected by a motor vehicle expert (inspector)
• The data from your new two-wheeler will then be saved in a central database
• The RTO Superintendent will validate the data after it has been uploaded
• Then it will be approved by the Assistance Regional Transport Officer (ARTO)
• The RTO office will mail it to you as soon as the Smart Card has been printed.
• They will send it to your stated email address.

In India, there exist two sorts of bike registration numbers: temporary and permanent. Before receiving the permanent two-wheeler registration number, the owner is given a temporary registration number that has a one-month validity. However, after the RTO provides a permanent bike registration number, the bike's ownership has been confirmed, and the motorcycle has been identified based on its engine and chassis number.

The following are the documents required for bike registration:

• Form 20 is an application form for new bike registration
• The bike dealer provides Form 21 as the sale certificate
• The roadworthiness certificate is Form 22, issued by the two-wheeler's manufacturer
• The two-wheeler's dealer gives the Pollution under control certificate (PUCC)
• Address evidence, such as electricity bill or any other proof of identification
• The RTO will furnish you with a temporary registration certificate until you get your permanent registration certificate
• If you acquired the two-wheeler with a bank loan, Form 34 is necessary. It provides the two-wheeler's hypothecation information.
• Photocopy of your PAN Card. If you don't have it, complete and submit Form 60.
• The dealer's purchase invoice and the manufacturer's invoice were supplied to the dealer.
• Photos (passport-size)
• Proof of birth date, photocopy of driving licence, PAN Card, passport, etc.
• Printing the chassis and engine numbers using a pencil drawing
