CG Transport and Vehicle Registration Process in Chhattisgarh

The Chhattisgarh Transport Department has been one of the first to use Information Technology in providing citizen-friendly transport services. In the past decade, it has computerised many transport related processes and has adopted mechanisms to make information available to citizens via Internet and SMS. CG is also the first state to implement Vahan and Sarathi across the state. There are a total of 27 RTOs in the state working towards delivering services related to issue of driving licenses, registration of vehicles, issue of vehicle fitness certificates, and more. Explained below are the process and documents required for vehicle registration under various circumstances.

Dealer Point Registration For A New Vehicle

Just like a two wheeler insurance or a car insurance, vehicle registration is also mandatory in India. The dealers are authorised to collect the necessary documents from the customers and complete the vehicle registration process. They can enroll the vehicle through the Online Dealer Point registration system, pay the necessary taxes and fees, and assign you a temporary vehicle registration number. Once the RTO verifies and approves your documents, they will send the RC Smart Card to your registered address via post. Below is the list of documents required for the purpose:

• Duly-filled CMV Form 20 along with the imprint of engine number and chassis number
• Sales certificate in CMV Form 21 issued by the dealer of the vehicle
• Roadworthiness certificate in Form 22 provided by the vehicle manufacturer
• Vehicle Insurance Certificate
• Address proof of vehicle owner
