Bengaluru RTO — Offices, Codes & Driving Test Guide

Updated 1 July 2026

Bengaluru's vehicle population is spread across more than ten RTO codes — from KA-01 in the centre to KA-51 covering Electronic City. The city's traffic density means challan checks, insurance renewals and interstate re-registrations (for professionals moving into the city) are among the most common vehicle tasks for Bengaluru owners.
