Vehicle Registration Process in Rajasthan — Step by Step

Vehicle registration in Rajasthan is administered by the Rajasthan Transport Department through Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) spread across the state's districts, running on the national VAHAN platform. Non-transport vehicles (private cars and two-wheelers) pay a one-time motor vehicle tax at registration — there is no annual road tax for private vehicles in Rajasthan. Tax for a new vehicle is payable at the time of registration.

1. Buy the vehicle and get a temporary registration. The dealer issues a temporary registration (application in Form 20) at the time of purchase. A temporary registration is valid for a maximum of one month (Rule 47, Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989), within which the permanent registration must be completed.
2. Submit the registration application. Form 20 (application for registration), Form 21 (sale certificate from the dealer/manufacturer), Form 22 (certificate of roadworthiness), valid insurance, and proof of address and identity are filed — normally by the dealer for new vehicles.
3. Pay road tax and registration fee. Road tax is a one-time payment calculated on the ex-showroom price with the rate set by engine capacity and fuel type, plus a 12.5% surcharge. The registration fee under Rule 81 of CMVR 1989 is ₹300 for a motorcycle and ₹600 for a non-transport light motor vehicle. HSRP is ₹400 for four-wheelers and ₹200 for two-wheelers.
4. Registration number is allotted. On verification of documents and tax payment, VAHAN allots a permanent number in the RJ-XX-XXXX format and the RC is issued to the owner.

Rajasthan RTO Offices and District Codes

All Rajasthan registration numbers carry the RJ prefix followed by a two-digit district code. Major offices include:

Note: Codes are as per the standard RTO code list for Rajasthan; verify your district office at the Rajasthan Transport Department portal before visiting.

How Rajasthan Road Tax is Calculated

Formula: Ex-showroom price of the vehicle × rate for your fuel type and engine capacity % = base road tax, then + 12.5% surcharge on that tax = total road tax payable. Rajasthan is one of the few states where the rate depends on engine capacity (cc) rather than the vehicle price.

Example: A 1500cc petrol car priced at ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom) → 10% = ₹1,00,000 base tax. Surcharge of 12.5% = ₹12,500. Total road tax = ₹1,12,500. Add ₹600 registration fee and ₹400 HSRP, and total RTO charges come to ₹1,13,500.

The official rate structure for non-transport vehicles in Rajasthan:

• Petrol/CNG cars up to 800cc: 6% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Petrol/CNG cars 801–1200cc: 9% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Petrol/CNG cars above 1200cc: 10% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Diesel cars up to 800cc: 8% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Diesel cars 801–1200cc: 11% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Diesel cars above 1200cc: 12% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Two-wheelers up to 200cc: 8% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Two-wheelers 201–500cc: 13% (plus 12.5% surcharge)
• Two-wheelers above 500cc: 15% (plus 12.5% surcharge)

EV Policy: What Rajasthan EV Buyers Save

Rajasthan Electric Vehicle Policy 2022 (REVP 2022) gives electric vehicles a 100% exemption from road tax at registration — across two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers. There is no cap on the vehicle price for the road tax exemption. The registration fee (₹600 for a car, ₹300 for a two-wheeler) and HSRP charge still apply, so an EV buyer's total RTO outlay is just ₹1,000 for a car.

Example: an electric car priced at ₹15 lakh pays ₹0 road tax and ₹0 surcharge — only ₹600 registration fee and ₹400 HSRP, i.e. ₹1,000 in total. The same car in petrol (1500cc) would pay ₹1,50,000 base tax plus ₹18,750 surcharge, totalling ₹1,68,750 — an EV saving of over ₹1.6 lakh.

REVP 2022 also supports EV manufacturing and charging infrastructure in the state. Always confirm the current notification on the official Rajasthan Transport Department portal before you finalise a purchase.
