How to Register Vehicle in Sikkim

Meet the Motor Vehicle Inspector who will give you the required forms on payment of Rs. 40. He will also ask you to produce a Bank Receipt of a certain amount, according to the category (private, taxi, goods carrier, etc). A certificate from the Commercial Tax office stating that the sales tax for the new vehicle has been paid, should also be obtained.

Two copies of pencil imprints of the Chassis number are also required. With these documents, the applicant will meet the concerned MVI, who will allocate a registration number. He will give a receipt with the engine number, chassis number and registration number and a validity date within which your registration will be finalised. After this receipt is received, one can display the given registration number on the vehicle. Before the expiry date, the department will give a duly filled form with all the vehicle details and details of the owner. This form should be produced in the computer section of the RTO?s office. Once the details of the form are entered into the computer, the smartcard is printed and given. One has to pay for the smartcard separately according to the category of vehicle registration.
