How Do You Find the RC of a Car?

The Road Tax or Registration Certificate (RC) of a car is an important document that serves as a proof of ownership. It contains the owner’s name, the car’s registration number, and its engine and chassis number.

It is mandatory to have the RC of a car when buying or selling it and also for other purposes such as renewing your car insurance policy or getting a fitness certificate from the Regional Transport Office (RTO).

The RC of a car can be obtained from the RTO office in the state where it is registered. The process for obtaining it may vary slightly from state to state but generally, you will need to submit an application form along with supporting documents such as the original sale deed and vehicle insurance policy. You will also need to pay a fee for processing your application.

Once your application is approved, you will receive an acknowledgement slip which you can use to track the status of your RC online. If all goes well, you should receive your RC within 15 days.

In case you have lost or misplaced your RC document, you can apply for a duplicate one by submitting a form at the RTO office. The form should be accompanied by an affidavit along with supporting documents such as vehicle insurance certificate and proof of identity.

Conclusion:

Finding an RC for a car is fairly simple if all documents are in order. It involves submitting an application at the RTO office along with supporting documents and paying the required fees. In case of loss or misplacement, you can apply for a duplicate document by submitting an affidavit along with other necessary documents.
