Every vehicle in India is issued a Registration Certificate (RC) by its Regional Transport Office (RTO). The RC links a number plate to the vehicle's owner and all its official records. With TrueVahanInfo you can look up these RC details online using only the number plate — no paperwork, no RTO visit.
How to check RC details by number
- Download and open the free TrueVahanInfo app.
- Enter the vehicle's registration number, e.g. MH12AB1234.
- Tap Search.
- View the full RC report, or download it as a PDF.
What RC details you get
- Owner name and ownership serial (1st, 2nd owner)
- Registration date, RTO and state
- Make, model, variant and vehicle class
- Fuel type, colour, engine & chassis number
- Insurance company, policy number and validity
- PUC (pollution certificate) and fitness/road-tax validity
- Financer / hypothecation status (is the vehicle on loan?)
Why check a vehicle's RC?
An RC check is most useful before buying a used car or bike — you can confirm the real owner, check if the vehicle is still under a bank loan (hypothecation), verify insurance and PUC validity, and spot any mismatch with what the seller claims. Dealers, fleet owners and individual buyers all use RC checks to avoid fraud.
