• RTO Superintendent would scrutinize and inspect the document

• Then pay the required registration fees and tax on the cash counter

• The inspector of the motor vehicle would inspect your vehicle before providing the registration certificate

• The respective RTO office would enter the data of the vehicle in the central database which would be verified by the superintendent of the RTO
