Decode WB01 number plates and run RC, owner and challan checks for Kolkata.
Every Indian vehicle registration begins with a state code followed by a two-digit RTO number. The prefix WB01 is assigned to the Kolkata Regional Transport Office in West Bengal. Any vehicle whose number plate starts with WB01 was originally registered here, which also means its RC file, fitness record and challan history sit with this office.
A typical WB01 plate looks like WB01 AB 1234. The first two letters (WB) are the state, the next two digits identify the Kolkata 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 WB01 vehicles generally carry later series letters.
WB01AB1234.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 Kolkata vehicle, the plate should start with WB01 and the RC record should show West Bengal as the registering state. Re-registration in another state requires an NOC, so ask for that paperwork whenever the two do not line up.
