Last month I purchased a new Honda Activa (Two wheeler) in Hyderabad. I was a bit anxious before this deal as dealer said I need to take care of vehicle registration process. However he assured me that he has got some agents who can do this process of my behalf but will charge somewhere Rs 1000.

After enquiring the RTA Hyderebad site I was confident that two wheeler registration should not cost me more that Rs 200.I decided to give a try.

After a week of purchase of my vehicle, I went to RTA office, Kondapur. Finding the correct RTA office is a tough task. Dealer gave me the information about the RTA office and its address.

I was carrying all the documents provided by dealer 1. Form 20 2. Form 21 3. Form 22 4. Life Tax Receipt 5. Temp Registration certificate 6. Original Invoice 7. Insurance copy

Apart from this I carried following documents 1. Xerox of PAN card (Identity proof) 2. Address proof 3.Passport size photograph 4. Self addressed envelop(for dispatch of RC)

I also carried a pencil to take impression of Engine no and Chassis number.

I reached the office at 10.30 am. I noticed a paper pasted on the wall near to the counter which lists all the document required for registration. I arranged the documents according to the list and in the same order. Approached to the counter. The officer had a look at my application form and tried to search in the computer. It seems entry against my vehicle was not available so he asked me to wait for another 30 min. After 1 hour or so he accepted my application and received fee of Rs 185 (Registration charge 160 + Rs 25 towards postal charge) and issued one receipt. He asked me to go for Vehicle inspection. There was different queue for vehicle inspection. After waiting for around 15 minutes my turn came. vehicle inspector asked me to read the engine and chassis number. I had some difficulty in locating these numbers as its punched in the lower part of vehicle. One gentleman helped me in this task.
MVI asked me take the impression of Engine no and chassis no on the application number. I did it with great difficulty with 20% accuracy.The impression was not readable at all. Anyway I submitted this application form to MVI and he informed me that I should be getting the RC within 7 days by post. The entire process took me around 2 hours.

Exactly withing a week I received my RC by post.

Applying for new vehicle registration has been made very simple and we should take the benefit of it. there is no need to go through any agents. Hope this post help to the people looking for new vehicle registration.
