Process to Apply
for Duplicate RC and Re-Registration of Two Wheeler (together)
If you've lost your
Original RC and your vehicle has completed 15 years then all you need to do is
follow the right procedure and visit RTO two times. When I enquired, all agents
quoted from Rs.7000 to Rs.9000 for duplicate RC and Re-registration. One agent
even quoted Rs.2100 just for FIR which is a 2 minute process.
For
lost/damaged/expired RC
1. FIR
First and foremost, lodge
an online FIR on Maharashtra Police Lost and Found website https://punepolice.co.in/lost-found/
Take a print. This will
help you even at the time of vehicle inspection for re-registration.
Day 1
2. Register your
vehicle
If your vehicle is old
then, in all probability, you'll have a manual RC. You need to go to Pune RTO
(Sangam Bridge) and show ongoing Insurance Certificate or Xerox of lost/damaged
RC.
On submitting this, your
vehicle will be registered in NIC database and reflect online on Parivahaan.

You can input your
vehicle number on the website and see all the details.
Day 2
3. Green Tax /
Environment Tax
Paying the Green Tax
which is mandatory for all vehicles above 15 years. It's Rs. 2000 for two
wheelers.
Once my TVS Victor was
registered online I went to RTO. The window official calculated the Green Tax
to be paid. I paid the tax (in cash only) at another window. Since I was late
by one year, I had to pay a penalty of Rs.720. So my total Green tax was
Rs.2720.
4. Re-registration first
Before you can apply for
Duplicate RC, you need to complete the re-registration process.
I logged into the Parivahaan
website using my vehicle registration no (MH12...)
Then go to 'Renewal
Registration' section and Pay Rs.550 online (fee as of July 2018) as
stipulated.
On payment I got access
to Form 25 online.
I also paid the RC
Particular fee Rs.50 online on the website (as of July 2018)
I took a print of Form
25 and the Payment Receipt and RC Particular Receipt.
4. Alandi Road RTO
for Re-registration
All vehicles need to be
physically taken to Alandi Road RTO (Vishrantwadi) for physical inspection.
At Alandi Road RTO go to
the backside of the license test building. The inspection official inspected my
documents which included:
- Form 25
- Rs.550 payment receipt
-Tracing of Chassis No.
on Form 25
- Online FIR
- Insurance copy (if you
don't have ongoing insurance then get it insured first. If they refuse then you
need to get a 'Covering letter' from the insurance company on a provisional
basis saying that you'll submit the Original RC in few days time)
- Photocopy of
lost/damaged RC
-Valid PUC Certificate
Important: The vehicle
inspector then physically inspected these things of my vehicle:
- Chassis Number
- Mirrors
-Brake light whether
it's working
-Indicators whether
they're working
- Horn
-He'll ask you to start
the bike and observe the smoke from the silencer.
Post this inspection I
was asked to go to 'Entry Desk' who manually entered all document details in a
Register and stamped my Form 25
Now I took that Form 25
to the Inspection Officer and he put his stamp on it.
Then to Window No.1 who
inspected and verified all the documents. He told me whom to take the form to
at Sangam Bridge RTO for signature.
Step 5: Sangam Bridge
RTO
I took the stamped Form
25 (along with attached documents) to Sangam Bridge RTO officer.
(in my case it was Mr
Sangare's who sits on the left side as you enter the building)
Step 6: Submission
I took the signed Form
25 (and all documents) to the window (as per your vehicle number)
Duplicate RC
At this stage, since I
also wanted Duplicate RC, I was asked to attach Form 26 (for Duplicate RC)
along with the documents.
*You can get the form
outside at the Forms Counter. No need to scout for it online.
It is important that you
write your mobile number on Form 26. It is mandatory.
Back, I submitted all
documents along with Form 25 and Form 26. I was asked to attach my Aadhar Card
copy which I fortunately was carrying with me.
Then my left hand thumb
impression on Form 26 and Aadhar copy was taken. I signed it and then he
directed me to pay the additional stipulated fee of Rs. 350.
*There is a separate
window for payment of fees. The window officials will tell you where to go.
Step 7: Ta da da...
Done!
From there I went back
to the earlier window and submitted the documents and payment receipts. On finally
verifying all the documents he gave me a Submission/Application Receipt and
said to expect the Duplicate RC and Re-registration confirmation in One Month
time by post.
Pl. Note: If you don't receive the Duplicate RC
in 1 month, you are expected to visit the RTO and check in the Delivery
Department (on the 1st floor)
Crossing my fingers and

No Agent Menace at
RTO
Gone are the days of
agents pestering you and you feeling helpless with the slow RTO procedure,
thanks to Online registering. The procedure at RTO has been made extremely
user-friendly. As a result, the agents have realised that those who want to do
it alone can do it. So you can expect friendly agents who provide advice free
of cost at the RTO.
Information Desk
Plus, you can always
approach the Information Desk inside the Sangam Bridge RTO building. They will readily
and politely help you and give you the process information.
