Temporary registration is available for a limited time while purchasing a vehicle. If a vehicle is acquired from a dealer’s showroom, this registration is required. This registration is only valid for a week. The owner, on the other hand, has the option to extend it further.

Permanent Registration: Within 7 days of delivery, a two-wheeler or four-wheeler must be registered. Unregistered vehicles are illegal to drive. A dealer cannot deliver an unregistered vehicle under the law; instead, it issues a temporary RC to the owner for a period of seven days.
