- 2
Confirm your correct tehsil office by address proof (Bhiwani, Siwani, Loharu or Tosham) — commercial/transport vehicles go to HR-61 in Bhiwani city regardless of tehsil.
- 3
File on parivahan.gov.in: application (Form 20), supporting documents, fee payment and appointment booking can all be done online.
- 4

Attend your booked slot for vehicle inspection and any required biometric/document verification at your assigned RTO counter.

RTO Registration Fees & Road Tax
A late driving licence renewal (after the grace period) carries a standard Haryana penalty of ₹1,000 per year of delay. Smart Card RC issuance generally adds a further ₹200 on top of the baseline registration fee. Road tax is collected at the Registering Authority at the point of registration for a new vehicle, based on ex-showroom price and vehicle category. These figures represent the standard statewide schedule across all five Bhiwani-district offices.

Local Note: No NCR Old-Vehicle Ban in Bhiwani
Bhiwani sits in central-western Haryana, well outside the Delhi National Capital Region — so the NGT/Supreme Court 10-year diesel / 15-year petrol ban that applies in Gurgaon, Faridabad and Jhajjar does not apply here. Older vehicles can continue to ply in Bhiwani district as long as their registration, fitness certificate, insurance and PUC are valid. The rule that applies statewide regardless of NCR status is RC validity: a private vehicle's registration is valid for 15 years, after which it must be re-registered and renewed every 5 years. If a Bhiwani-registered vehicle later moves into an NCR district, the NCR age restrictions would then apply to it.
RC Transfer & Re-registration in Bhiwani
Used Vehicle Ownership Transfer
When you buy a used vehicle in Bhiwani district, you must transfer the RC into your name within 30 days — separate from the 7-day new-vehicle registration deadline. You will need the sale certificate, original RC, insurance in the buyer's name, ID/address proof matching your tehsil, PUCC, and the financier's NOC if there was an active loan.
RC Validity & Inter-state Relocation
A private vehicle's registration is valid for 15 years, after which it must be re-registered and renewed every 5 years. If a vehicle registered in another state is kept in Haryana for more than 12 months, it must be re-registered locally through the Secretary, RTA Bhiwani (HR-61), requiring an NOC from the vehicle's original state of registration and local road-tax settlement.
HSRP: Mandatory Registration Plates
A High-Security Registration Plate (HSRP) is mandatory on all vehicles in Bhiwani district. Active HSRP is required not only for new registration but also for ownership transfer, hypothecation termination, duplicate RC, and inter-state NOC.
Hypothecation (HP) Termination
For hypothecation (adding a financier's lien on a financed vehicle), Form 34 is used. For hypothecation termination once the loan is paid off, submit Form 35 along with the bank's NOC on the Parivahan portal, followed by physical verification at your local tehsil SDM counter.
