Decode HP05 number plates and run RC, owner and challan checks for Kullu.
Every Indian vehicle registration begins with a state code followed by a two-digit RTO number. The prefix HP05 is assigned to the Kullu Regional Transport Office in Himachal Pradesh. Any vehicle whose number plate starts with HP05 was originally registered here, which also means its RC file, fitness record and challan history sit with this office.
A typical HP05 plate looks like HP05 AB 1234. The first two letters (HP) are the state, the next two digits identify the Kullu 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 HP05 vehicles generally carry later series letters.
HP05AB1234.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 Kullu vehicle, the plate should start with HP05 and the RC record should show Himachal Pradesh as the registering state. Re-registration in another state requires an NOC, so ask for that paperwork whenever the two do not line up.
