Maharashtra RTO — Codes, Offices & Registration Guide
Updated 1 July 2026
Maharashtra operates one of India's largest transport departments, with RTOs and Deputy RTOs across the state. Number plates start with MH followed by the regional code — MH-01 for Mumbai Central, MH-12 for Pune, MH-31 for Nagpur. The state leads the country in total registered vehicles, and Mumbai's island-city geography makes parking certificates and CNG conversions common RTO transactions.

Vehicle registration in Maharashtra
Maharashtra levies road tax based on vehicle cost and fuel type, with higher slabs for diesel and premium vehicles. Registration is dealer-initiated via Vahan; owners must verify the RC reaches the address on record. Series like MH-01, MH-02 (Mumbai West) and MH-03 (Mumbai East) map to different city zones.
Driving test guidance
Learner's tests are computer-based in Marathi, Hindi and English. Permanent tests in metro RTOs use track or road tests depending on the office — Mumbai's Tardeo and Andheri RTOs conduct tests at designated grounds; carry your learner's licence, Form 4 and appointment slip.
