RTO Bangalore

The RTO Bangalore establishment occurred under Section 213 of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988. Bangalore, known as the cyber hub of India and a busy city, vehicle registration has increased significantly in recent years. However, RTO Bangalore has taken a few steps to simplify the process. RTO Bangalore has connected a few services with Bangalore One for services like the issuance of DL Extract and the issue of B-Extract of transport Vehicles. With this facility, citizens can get vehicle owner's information (RC-Extract) about registered transport vehicles and driving licences through this application across the city.

The Bangalore RTO office enforces traffic regulations, collects road taxes, issues driver's licences, registers vehicles, and provides other associated services like vehicle ownership transfers, HP addition/termination, vehicle NOC, etc. Bangalore road tax is paid to RTO Bangalore. To manage administrative tasks, RTO Bangalore maintains eight RTO offices in Bangalore.

RTOs, carry out various duties or operations needed to guarantee suitable and safe transportation on the road. The enforcement of the laws governing road transportation in the Bangalore area as per the Motor Vehicles Act is primarily the responsibility of RTO Bangalore.
