The
registration number should be written in two lines: the
state code and RTO code in the first line and the rest in
the second line, one below the other. However in case of
certain models of vehicles where sufficient space has not
been provided by the manufacturer, the number can be written
in one line.
The
registration number plate must be displayed both in the
front as well as at the rear of the vehicle
- In
case of transport vehicles, the number must also be painted
on:
- Right
and left side of the body of the vehicle
- On
the partition between the driver and the passengers
- If
there is no partition, it can be displayed on or near
the dashboard in such a manner that it is clearly
visible to the passengers
- Fancy
lettering, raised or shining metal numbers are not permitted

number plate. The plate should not have any line or any
colour, or any other kind of marking on it.

number plate must always be clean and clearly visible
- The
colour combinations for private vehicle (non-commercial)
should be in black letters on white background. Whereas,
