Driving a vehicle comes with a responsibility. An individual should never drive a vehicle without the necessary documents and always ensure they are updated. One such important document is the Registration Certificate (RC).
Under the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988, any vehicle that is used on public roads should have a RC, which can be received through the payment of road tax. However, the RC needs to be renewed after 15 years from the date of issue. After that, the vehicle registration can be renewed every five years as long as RTO finds the vehicle to be fit.
So, if you need to renew your vehicle’s RC and not aware of the process to renew it, then follow these steps.
The documents you need to fill include Application in Form 25, Pollution under control certificate, RC book, Fitness Certificate, Certificate of registration, Proof for the payment of up-to-date road tax paid, Insurance certificate, Copy of PAN card or Form 60 & Form 61 (as applicable), chassis and engine pencil print and Signature identification of the owner.
