Check a Vehicle — ₹99

You get one of three verdicts

The verdict sits at the top of the report in large type. The full RC record follows below it as proof.

Stop

Blacklisted

The VAHAN record carries a blacklist entry. We print the RTO's note exactly as written, so you can see the reason and the office. Ownership transfer is blocked until it is cleared. Do not pay a token.

Caution

Not blacklisted, but RC not active

No blacklist entry, but the registration itself is cancelled or suspended. Transfer is not possible until the RTO restores it. Ask the seller for the paperwork before going further.

Clear

Not blacklisted

No blacklist entry on record and the RC is active. Insurance, fitness, loan and NOC status follow in the same report so you can move to the next check.

Why a vehicle gets blacklisted

A blacklist entry is a separate note on the VAHAN record. The RC can still read "active" while the entry sits underneath it, which is why an RC copy alone is not enough.

What the report shows

The verdict

Blacklisted or Not blacklisted, in large type at the top. If there is an entry, the RTO's wording is printed underneath it as written.

Legal status tiles

RC status (active, suspended, cancelled), blacklist, loan / hypothecation with the lender's name, and NOC status.

Vehicle identity

Make, model, fuel, colour, engine and chassis numbers, manufacturing month and registration date, so you can match the car in front of you to the record.

Owner and RTO

Owner name and serial (1st, 2nd, 3rd owner) and the registering RTO. Father's name, address and phone are never shown.

Document validity

Insurance, fitness, road tax and PUCC expiry dates, colour-coded, plus permit details for commercial vehicles.

PDF you keep

Download the report before you leave. We keep no copy. The same device can reopen it free for 24 hours.

How it works

1

Enter the number

Type the registration number as it appears on the plate. Standard series and Bharat series both work.

2

Pay ₹99

UPI, card or net banking. One payment, no subscription. Your mobile and email are taken first so a refund can always reach you.

3

Read the verdict

The report renders in a few seconds. Download the PDF and show it to the seller if the answer is not what they told you.

If the vehicle is blacklisted

Only the authority that added the entry can remove it. The usual path is:

  1. Read the reason and office in the RTO note on your report.
  2. Settle the cause: pay the dues, close the police or court matter, or get the insurer's release letter.
  3. Apply to the registering RTO with the proof and ask for the entry to be released.
  4. Run the check again once the RTO confirms. The entry should be gone from the record.

As a buyer, the safe rule is simple: let the seller do this before you pay anything. A price cut is not worth a car you cannot transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about vehicle blacklisting and this check

What does it mean when a vehicle is blacklisted?
A blacklist entry is a note the RTO or police add to a vehicle's record in the VAHAN database. It stops ownership transfer, and often fitness renewal and permit work, until the entry is cleared. Common reasons are theft, an insurance write-off after an accident, a court order, unpaid taxes or challans, and use in a crime.
Can a vehicle be blacklisted even if the RC is active?
Yes. In VAHAN the blacklist is a separate noting from the RC status. A vehicle can show an active RC and still carry a blacklist entry. Blacklist Check reads both and shows the verdict first.
What exactly does Blacklist Check show?
One verdict in large type, Blacklisted or Not blacklisted, followed by the RTO's own blacklist note printed as written, the RC status (active, suspended or cancelled), NOC status and the loan / hypothecation flag. The full RC record follows as supporting evidence.
Is the data official?
Yes. The check reads the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways VAHAN registry through a regulated data partner. It is the same record an RTO officer sees. It reflects what the RTO last synchronised, so a very recent entry or release may take time to appear.
Does it work for bikes, autos and trucks?
Yes. Any vehicle registered in India: cars, motorcycles, scooters, three-wheelers, taxis, buses and trucks. You only need the registration number.
What if the vehicle is not found?
If the VAHAN database returns no record for the number and no report can be shown, the ₹99 is refunded in full. A report that shows a verdict is a delivered report and is not refundable, whatever the verdict says.
How do I clear a blacklist?
Only the authority that added the entry can remove it. Settle the underlying cause, then apply to the registering RTO with the proof. The report shows the reason and office on record so you know where to start.
Do you store my report?
No. The report is shown once in your browser and deleted from our servers when you leave the page. We keep only transaction details for support and accounting. Download the PDF if you want a copy.
