About RTO code TN45

Every Indian vehicle registration begins with a state code followed by a two-digit RTO number. The prefix TN45 is assigned to the Erode Regional Transport Office in Tamil Nadu. Any vehicle whose number plate starts with TN45 was originally registered here, which also means its RC file, fitness record and challan history sit with this office.

How to decode a TN45 number plate

A typical TN45 plate looks like TN45 AB 1234. The first two letters (TN) are the state, the next two digits identify the Erode 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 TN45 vehicles generally carry later series letters.

How to check RC details for a TN45 vehicle

  1. Copy the full plate exactly as printed, for example TN45AB1234.
  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 Tamil Nadu fines transfer to you along with the vehicle.

Buying a used vehicle registered at Erode

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 Erode vehicle, the plate should start with TN45 and the RC record should show Tamil Nadu as the registering state. Re-registration in another state requires an NOC, so ask for that paperwork whenever the two do not line up.
