Jammu Vehicle Registration

According to the particular regulations that are in force as mandated by the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, every vehicle that is driven on the road has to be registered by the competent authority of the RTO. Jammu vehicle registration details can be found at designated RTOs or on the official website. However, before you apply for vehicle registration, the following documents must be collected to submit with your application:

  • Forms 20 and Form 21

  • Form 22A, which is the dealer’s certificate giving details about the manufacture of the given vehicle. .

  • If a loan has been taken to purchase the vehicle, the financing authority has to provide the Form 28. Alternatively, an NOC or no objection certificate is permitted.

  • An invoice showing vehicle purchase

  • A customs bill is necessary in case your vehicle is an imported one.

  • If the vehicle going to be used for commercial purposes, TCA and TCR forms must be submitted

  • Your PAN Card and Forms 34 and 60

  • Vehicle insurance documentation

  • Residence proof

  • Photographs (passport size)

 

Once you have submitted your application to the RTO Jammu, registration status can be checked on the website or through the RTO Office, Jammu, helpline number. Furthermore, as vehicle registration is compulsory according to the law of the land, a vehicle also must have adequate vehicle insurance documentation. In case you fail to have this with you, and you are checked by the authorities, you may face heavy fines and even imprisonment. The minimum insurance you must carry with you at all times while driving is third-party insurance. Insurance clauses and conditions may vary with different schemes, but these are the two fundamental types:

  • Third-Party Insurance

Third-party motor vehicle insurance plans offer basic coverage when your vehicle is the cause of damage or bodily injury to third-parties and the property of third parties.

  • Comprehensive Insurance

Covering a broader scope of cover, comprehensive insurance offers protection when your vehicle causes damage to third parties and their property, and also to you and your property /vehicle. You may have add-ons to this kind of insurance for extra coverage.
