If you own a vehicle, you must be aware of the Regional Transport Office (RTO) regulations that are required to be able to drive a vehicle without any trouble on the Indian roads.  RTO is the organization that is entrusted with the task of managing a database of vehicle drivers as well as vehicles of each and every state in the country.

The Regional Transport Office (RTO) of India performs four key functions, such as:

  • RTO issues driving licence.
  • RTO manages and coordinates everything about motor excise duty.
  • RTO sells personalized registrations to vehicle owners.
  • RTO examines vehicle insurance and emission tests.

To make each function that RTO performs smooth and easy for people, the Government of India has introduced different RTO forms. These forms help people in identifying the exact input that they are supposed to offer to RTO to carry a certain function.
