The new vehicle registration process
Whenever you purchase a new vehicle in India, it is mandatory to get it registered. A new vehicle registration means a new identity of your bike or car to differentiate it from the others.
The Regional Transport Office(RTO) keeps a check on all the motor vehicles of the country.
They will inspect, conform, and allot a registration number to your vehicle which will be your permanent registration number for that particular vehicle. This number remains constant even if you transfer the ownership of that vehicle to somebody else.
