Maharashtra RTO List (2026): Codes, Address & Phone Numbers

Last updated: September 2026 – RTO codes checked against independent records; addresses and phone numbers may change, so confirm with the RTO before visiting.

Maharashtra has one of India’s largest RTO networks, with over 50 offices covering everything from Mumbai’s dense traffic to rural Vidarbha. This guide has the complete Maharashtra RTO code list with addresses and phone numbers, what the codes mean, and how to use them for vehicle registration, checking a number plate, or finding your nearest office.

What Maharashtra RTOs Do

Understanding Maharashtra Vehicle Registration Numbers

A Maharashtra vehicle number follows the format MH-XX-YY-NNNN: MH is the state code, XX is the two-digit RTO code identifying the district or zone (see the table below), and YY-NNNN is a unique series and number assigned to the vehicle. The code tells you which office issued the registration, so you can use it to identify where an unfamiliar vehicle is from, or find the right office for your own registration.

Maharashtra RTO Code List With Address & Phone Number

Maharashtra has continued adding codes beyond MH50 for newer offices in growing areas; if you don’t see your RTO above, check the Vahan portal or your RC for the exact code.

Checking a Vehicle or Registration Online

Rather than relying only on a static code list, you can check the full, current registration details of any Maharashtra vehicle through the official Vahan portal:

A “passing number” (or temporary registration) is issued briefly after a new vehicle passes inspection, before the permanent registration number is assigned; this is normal for the first few days after purchase and is replaced automatically once the RC is issued.
