Whenever we buy a new vehicle, registration of your vehicle is mandatory by the law in India. This registration is necessary so that there is clear information about the ownership of the individual and the vehicle. This will help in taxing car owners in the right way. This information is associated with the license and registration number of the vehicle which is displayed as the number plate. This number is issued by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) at the district level.
