About RTO code PB10

Every Indian vehicle registration begins with a state code followed by a two-digit RTO number. The prefix PB10 is assigned to the Ludhiana Regional Transport Office in Punjab. Any vehicle whose number plate starts with PB10 was originally registered here, which also means its RC file, fitness record and challan history sit with this office.

How to decode a PB10 number plate

A typical PB10 plate looks like PB10 AB 1234. The first two letters (PB) are the state, the next two digits identify the Ludhiana 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 PB10 vehicles generally carry later series letters.

How to check RC details for a PB10 vehicle

  1. Copy the full plate exactly as printed, for example PB10AB1234.
  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 Punjab fines transfer to you along with the vehicle.

Buying a used vehicle registered at Ludhiana

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 Ludhiana vehicle, the plate should start with PB10 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.
