Here they would inspect your vehicle, verify it, and allot a registration number to the same.
Following are some of the steps that you need to follow in this regard:

| 21 | certificate of sale |
| 23 | registration certificate |
| 24 | registration of the motor vehicle |
| 29 | notice of transfer of ownership of the vehicle |
| 38A | inspection report |
| 50 | lading bill |
| 51 | only for two-wheelers insurance certificate |
| 54 | report of information for accidents |

In India, you have two kinds of registration numbers for vehicles including new bike registration. These two types are permanent and temporary. You get the temporary number before you get the permanent one. The temporary numbers usually have a validity of a month.

This also indicates that the bike has been identified based on its chassis and engine numbers.
