Chennai East, Royapuram TN 04
Chennai North, Kolathur TN 05

The dealer files the registration online on the government's Vahan system, pays the road tax shown above and fits the high-security number plate once your number is allotted. You will need address proof (Aadhaar, passport or voter ID) and your PAN card, or Form 60 if you do not have one. Buying on a loan adds Form 34, which your lender signs. You can carry the registration certificate digitally in DigiLocker or the mParivahan app.
