How to Register a Vehicle Here
New vehicles must be registered to comply with statutory rules. Process is typically 7-15 days.
- 1
Confirm your correct tehsil office by address proof (Kaithal, Guhla/Cheeka or Kalayat) — commercial vehicles go to HR-64 regardless of tehsil.
- 2
Fill Form 20 on the Parivahan portal (dealers often do this for you) and upload supporting documents online.
- 3
Pay the registration fee and road tax online, and schedule an appointment slot (parivahan.gov.in → 'Online Services' → 'Vehicle Related Services' → choose Haryana → select 'Kaithal (HR-08)' or your sub-divisional office) — you cannot walk in directly without a booked slot.
- 4
Attend your slot for vehicle inspection (chassis/engine number verification) at the correct RLA office.
- 5
RC is issued as a smart-card / digital RC. Confirm HSRP affixation before taking delivery of a new vehicle — an active HSRP is required not just for new registration but for any RC alteration, hypothecation clearance or inter-district transfer.
Documents Required (RTO Filing)
Ensure you bring valid original copies along with self-attested photostats.
- Form 20 (application for registration)
- Form 21 (sale certificate) and Form 22 (roadworthiness certificate) from the dealer/manufacturer
- Valid insurance certificate
- Proof of identity and address matching the correct tehsil jurisdiction
- PAN card, or Form 60/61
- Passport-size photographs and PUC certificate
- Temporary registration certificate, if issued
Learner's Licence & Driving Test Process
Step-by-step procedure to acquire a driving licence in Kaithal.
- 1
Apply for the Learner's Licence (LL) online via Sarathi and take the LL computer-based test (road signs/rules) — this can usually be completed online without visiting the office.
- 2
Hold the LL for the mandatory minimum period before applying for a Permanent DL.
- 3
Apply for the Permanent DL slot at your correct tehsil RLA and appear in person for the practical driving test.
- 4
On passing, the DL is issued as a physical Smart Card, generally posted to your registered address.
Documents Required (Driving Licence)
Required for Learner's and Permanent Driving Licences across all sub-divisional RLAs.
- Form 1 (application) and Form 1A (medical certificate — commonly required for commercial DL or older applicants)
- Proof of age (birth certificate, 10th marksheet, passport)
- Proof of address (Aadhaar, voter ID, utility bill) matching your correct tehsil
- Passport-size photographs
- Learner's licence (for a permanent DL application) — must be held for a minimum period before the permanent test
- For commercial DL: additional endorsement requirements and a separate driving test on a heavier vehicle class
RTO Registration Fees & Road Tax
Late renewal penalty: Renewing a driving licence beyond the statutory grace period carries a mandatory late fee of ₹1,000 per year of delay in Haryana. Smart Card Registration Certificate (RC) printing and physical dispatch add a standard ₹200 card charge to basic registration transactions. Because all four Kaithal-district offices operate under the centralized MoRTH Parivahan portal, these fees are identical whether you file at Kaithal town, Guhla/Cheeka or Kalayat — only the office changes, not the cost. Haryana charges a one-time road tax at registration for private vehicles, based on the vehicle's ex-showroom price and category, collected alongside the registration fee shown above. Commercial vehicles under HR-64 pay road tax on a different basis tied to vehicle category, seating/load capacity and permit type — and HR-64 is also specifically responsible for collecting passenger tax on commercial passenger vehicles, a category most tehsil RLAs don't handle. Confirm the current commercial and passenger-tax slabs directly with RTA Kaithal.

Local Note: No NCR Old-Vehicle Ban in Kaithal
Kaithal sits in central-northern Haryana and is not part of the Delhi-NCR region — so the NGT/Supreme Court 10-year diesel / 15-year petrol ban that applies in Gurgaon, Faridabad and other NCR districts does not apply here. Older vehicles can continue to ply in Kaithal 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 Kaithal-registered vehicle later moves into an NCR district, the NCR age restrictions would then apply to it.
RC Transfer & Re-registration in Kaithal
Used Vehicle Ownership Transfer
When you buy a used vehicle, transfer the RC into your name within 30 days using Form 29 and Form 30 signed by the seller, the original RC, insurance in the buyer's name, ID/address proof, PUC, and the financier's NOC if there was a loan.
RC Validity & Inter-state Relocation
A private vehicle's RC is valid for 15 years, after which it must be re-registered (Form 25 + fitness check) and renewed every 5 years. A vehicle relocating to Kaithal district from another state must re-register at the correct local tehsil office and pay any road-tax differential.
HSRP: Mandatory Registration Plates
A High-Security Registration Plate (HSRP) is mandatory on every vehicle across all four Kaithal-district offices, and an active HSRP is specifically required for any RC alteration, hypothecation clearance, or inter-district transfer — not just for new registration. If you're buying a used car, confirm HSRP is fitted before attempting a transfer or NOC, as Kaithal-district RTOs will not process either without one already affixed.
Hypothecation (HP) Termination
Hypothecation (HP) termination / loan closure: if you've paid off your vehicle loan, upload the bank's Form 35 and NOC via the Parivahan portal first, then submit the physical originals at your local SDM counter — for example, Kalayat residents submit at the Kalayat office, not at Kaithal town just because it's the district headquarters. Skipping this step leaves the bank's lien showing on your RC even after the loan is fully repaid, which can complicate a later resale.
