Register your new car or bike and get its permanent RC and number.
In short
To register a new vehicle in Bangalore, submit Form 20 with your dealer invoice, valid insurance, PUC, and ID and address proof to the RTO, then pay the road tax and registration fee. A permanent number and RC are issued, usually within 10 to 20 days.
Every new vehicle must be recorded with the RTO under the Motor Vehicles Act before it can be driven on public roads. Registration gives it a permanent number and a Registration Certificate (RC) in your name.
We prepare your Form 20, pay the road tax and fees, and follow the file to approval, so you receive a valid RC without the back-and-forth.

Frequently asked questions
Doesn't the dealer handle registration?
Some do, but delays and document errors are common. We take over the file so it is filed correctly and you get a valid RC without chasing the RTO.
Will I have to visit the RTO?
Usually not. We handle the paperwork and fees. A short inspection is only needed if the RTO asks, and we arrange the slot for it.
How much does it cost to register a new car in Bangalore?
Beyond the registration fee, Karnataka charges lifetime road tax on a sliding scale based on the vehicle's ex-showroom price, typically 13 to 20 percent. The fee plus tax together make up most of the registration cost.
Can I register a new vehicle online in Bangalore?
The application and fee payment are done through the Parivahan VAHAN portal, but document verification still routes through the RTO. We file it for you so you do not have to visit in most cases.
How long does new vehicle registration take in Bangalore?
Usually 10 to 20 working days once documents and tax are submitted. The permanent RC is then posted to your registered address.
