Know Your Vehicle RC Application & Transfer Status in Punjab (PB)

While obtaining a driver’s licence is required to drive a motor vehicle on Indian roads, obtaining a registration certificate is equally important. A registration certificate, often known as an RC, is a government-issued document that certifies that your car has been registered with the Indian government. It’s a piece of paper that proves your vehicle’s registration.

To be able to operate a motor vehicle on Indian roadways, every vehicle owner must obtain a valid RC. According to the Motor Vehicles Act, no one can operate a car on Indian roads without a valid registration certificate.

A car registration certificate is valid for 15 years from the date of issue and can be renewed for another 5 years. A temporary registration certificate is only valid for one month after it is issued and cannot be renewed.
