How to Register a Vehicle Here
New vehicles must be registered to comply with statutory rules. Process is typically 7-15 days.
- 1
Fill Form 20 on the Parivahan portal (dealers often handle this as part of the on-road price) and upload supporting documents online.
- 2
Pay the registration fee and lifetime road tax (see slab table below) online through Vahan.
- 3
Attend vehicle inspection at the RTO — an officer verifies chassis and engine numbers against the paperwork. Confirm the office's current days and hours first.
- 4
RC is issued as a smart-card/digital RC, typically arriving by post within 15–30 days. HSRP (High Security Registration Plate) must be affixed before the vehicle is delivered — no new vehicle should leave the dealer without it.
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
- Valid insurance certificate
- Proof of identity and address
- PAN card, or Form 60/61
- Passport-size photographs
- PUC certificate
- Temporary registration certificate, if already issued
RTO Registration Fees & Road Tax
Electric vehicles are fully exempt from road tax in Uttar Pradesh, including in Chandauli — you only pay the base registration and Smart Card fees on an EV, not the percentage-of-price lifetime tax applied to petrol and diesel vehicles. On a ₹15 lakh vehicle, that's the difference between 8% lifetime tax (₹1.2 lakh) on a petrol car and ₹0 road tax on the equivalent EV.

Local Note: No NCR Old-Vehicle Ban in Chandauli
Chandauli sits in eastern Uttar Pradesh and is not part of the Delhi-NCR region, so the NGT/Supreme Court 10-year diesel / 15-year petrol restriction that applies in Meerut, Ghaziabad, Noida, Bulandshahr and Baghpat does not apply here. Older vehicles can continue to ply in Chandauli 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.
RC Transfer & Re-registration in Chandauli
Used Vehicle Ownership Transfer
When you buy a used vehicle, transfer the RC into your name within 30 days. You'll need the sale certificate, original RC, insurance in the buyer's name, ID/address proof, PUC certificate, and the financier's NOC if there was a loan. Ownership transfer for a car costs ₹500 at UP-67, separate from any hypothecation charges if the vehicle is being financed as part of the sale.
RC Validity & Inter-state Relocation
Hypothecation (adding a financier's lien on a loan) costs ₹1,500; removing it once the loan is paid off requires an NOC and closure documents from the bank, submitted to the RTO to have the lien cleared from the RC.
Fancy / VIP Registration Numbers
Motorists in Chandauli can apply for fancy or VIP registration numbers through the online auction system on the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways portal — the same standard statewide mechanism confirmed across every other UP district in this series.
