Mohali or SAS Nagar? Same City, Same RTO
SAS Nagar is the district and city's official name, and Mohali is the name most people use. Both lead to the same main RTO, PB-65. Don't confuse a Mohali (PB) registration with a Chandigarh (CH) one: the two cities adjoin, but they're different registering authorities.
Moving a Vehicle Between Chandigarh, Haryana and Mohali
Because Mohali adjoins Chandigarh and Haryana, many vehicles change registration across these borders. According to the source, a vehicle registered in Chandigarh (CH) or Haryana (HR) can be moved to PB-65 by first getting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the original registering authority, then applying for re-registration and road tax assessment at the Mohali RTO. Check the current timelines and tax treatment with the office, since road tax is typically assessed again on re-registration.
Source Confidence — What Is and Isn't Confirmed
Confirmed from an official source: none yet. No official Punjab Transport Department listing was available when this page was built. Secondary but useful (commercial directories): PB-65 as the Mohali main RTO in Sector 76; PB-27 Kharar with PIN 140301 and PB-70 Dera Bassi with PIN 140507 (both PINs given by a second site). Unresolved or conflicting — do not repeat as fact until checked: The PB-65 PIN (five different values online) and its exact building. Working days and hours, which differ between the source and at least one directory. The automated test track claim. The Punjab road tax range (9.5–13% vs 6–10%), the hypothecation and ownership-transfer figures, the late-renewal fee, and the EV-exemption status. Whether other towns in the district have their own codes, and which directory's PB-70 label is correct. Remove this section once the page has been reconciled with the Punjab Transport Department's official list.

RTO Registration Fees & Road Tax
According to the source, petrol and diesel vehicles pay roughly 9.5% to 13% of the ex-showroom price depending on the price band. Secondary directory listings cite 6% to 10% for private vehicles in Punjab. Confirm the slab table against the official Punjab notification. Electric vehicles: the source says pure EVs are currently 100% exempt from road tax in Punjab under the state's EV policy, so owners pay only base registration and Smart Card fees. Verify the policy's current active status before publishing.

Delhi-NCR Rules Do Not Apply in Mohali
Mohali sits in north-eastern Punjab, next to Chandigarh, and is not part of the Delhi-NCR region, so the NCR old-vehicle restrictions that apply in places like Gurugram or Ghaziabad do not apply here. Older vehicles can continue to ply as long as their registration, fitness certificate, insurance and PUC are valid.

Used Vehicle Ownership Transfer
When you buy a used vehicle in Punjab, transfer the RC into your name within 30 days at the registering office. If transferring from another state (e.g. Haryana or Chandigarh), a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the original registering authority is required.
RC Validity & Inter-state Relocation
Hypothecation endorsement or cancellation requires submitting Form 34/35 along with the bank's NOC and loan closure statement at the registering office.
