About RTO code BR01

Every Indian vehicle registration begins with a state code followed by a two-digit RTO number. The prefix BR01 is assigned to the Patna Regional Transport Office in Bihar. Any vehicle whose number plate starts with BR01 was originally registered here, which also means its RC file, fitness record and challan history sit with this office.

How to decode a BR01 number plate

A typical BR01 plate looks like BR01 AB 1234. The first two letters (BR) are the state, the next two digits identify the Patna RTO, the following one or two letters are the running series, and the last four digits are the unique vehicle number. When a series is exhausted the RTO moves to the next letter pair, so newer BR01 vehicles generally carry later series letters.

How to check RC details for a BR01 vehicle

  1. Copy the full plate exactly as printed, for example BR01AB1234.
  2. Run the RC details lookup to confirm registration status, make, model, fuel type, insurance and PUC validity.
  3. Run the vehicle owner lookup and match the registered owner name against the seller's ID.
  4. Finish with an e-challan check — unpaid Bihar fines transfer to you along with the vehicle.

Buying a used vehicle registered at Patna

A mismatch between the RTO on the plate and the seller's stated location is one of the most common warning signs in an Indian used-vehicle deal. If a car is advertised as a local Patna vehicle, the plate should start with BR01 and the RC record should show Bihar as the registering state. Re-registration in another state requires an NOC, so ask for that paperwork whenever the two do not line up.
