Decode PB08 number plates and run RC, owner and challan checks for Amritsar.
Every Indian vehicle registration begins with a state code followed by a two-digit RTO number. The prefix PB08 is assigned to the Amritsar Regional Transport Office in Punjab. Any vehicle whose number plate starts with PB08 was originally registered here, which also means its RC file, fitness record and challan history sit with this office.
A typical PB08 plate looks like PB08 AB 1234. The first two letters (PB) are the state, the next two digits identify the Amritsar 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 PB08 vehicles generally carry later series letters.
PB08AB1234.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 Amritsar vehicle, the plate should start with PB08 and the RC record should show Punjab as the registering state. Re-registration in another state requires an NOC, so ask for that paperwork whenever the two do not line up.
