While the dream of owning a car is universal, it’s crucial to understand that vehicle owners must pay road taxes to their respective state governments. Road tax is a one-time fee, and in Gujarat, it is levied on private vehicles during registration. In Gujarat, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) oversees and regulates various vehicle-related services within the state. These services encompass vehicle registration, issuing and renewing driver’s licenses, granting permits, assessing vehicle fitness, collecting road tax, and controlling pollution. The system also allocates unique RTO codes to different functional zones within the state, aiding in identifying and registering vehicles within specific jurisdictions. Gujarat boasts approximately 36 RTOs that are responsible for executing all transportation-related tasks. These RTO codes serve a pivotal role in maintaining an efficient vehicle database.
