Why Do You Need a Vehicle RC in Uttarakhand?

An RC proves your vehicle is lawfully registered at a Regional Transport Office. Here are some reasons why you need one:

Legal Compliance:

Section 3 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, mandates vehicle registration before driving. Traffic police may fine you up to Rs. 5,000 for the first offence and up to Rs. 10,000 for the subsequent one.

Proof of Ownership:

The owner's name and address are on the RC. This helps settle any ownership disputes and makes future transfers easy.
