RC Download– The Registration Certificate (RC) of your vehicle is a very important document. Like the driving license, the registration certificate must always be with you while driving. This certificate means that your vehicle is registered with your Regional Transport Office (RTO). This certificate is either in the form of a book (RC book) or a smart card (RC card).
Many times we accidentally lose the RC, or it gets damaged. In such a situation, you do not need to worry at all. You can apply for a duplicate registration certificate from home. However, before applying, you have to keep some important things in mind.
