Directories describe the building slightly differently, so if you’re visiting for the first time, look for the RTO near the railway junction on Railway Station Road. Office hours are generally weekday and Saturday daytime hours, with a lunch break and second Saturdays and public holidays off, but check the current timings with the office before you go.
Which Areas Does KA-04 Cover?
The Yeshwanthpur RTO serves residents of north-west Bengaluru, including areas around Yeshwanthpur, Malleshwaram, Mahalakshmipuram and Rajajinagar. Bengaluru is split between more than a dozen RTOs because of the city’s vehicle volume, so the office you use depends on your address. If you’re not sure which RTO covers your area, check the jurisdiction when you apply on Vahan or Sarathi, or see our Karnataka RTO list for every Bengaluru office and code.
Services Offered at Yeshwanthpur RTO
PUC certificates aren’t issued by the RTO; they come from authorised PUC centres, usually at petrol pumps. See our PUC certificate guide.
Using Yeshwanthpur RTO Services Online
Most services start online, which saves you a wasted trip. For licence services, go to sarathi.parivahan.gov.in, select Karnataka and choose the service; you can pay fees and book a test slot at the RTO there. For vehicle services, go to vahan.parivahan.gov.in, select Karnataka, enter your registration number and verify with your chassis number and OTP. You’ll usually only need to visit the office for a driving test, vehicle inspection or document verification. See our guides to applying for a driving licence and Vahan e-services.
Karnataka Road Tax
Karnataka charges a one-time road tax on private vehicles at registration, calculated as a percentage of the vehicle’s cost and rising with the price slab; the state’s rates are among the higher ones in India. Commercial vehicles pay periodically. The exact amount is shown when you generate the tax payment on Vahan, so check it before finalising a purchase. See our E-Vahan tax guide for how road tax works.
Moving to Bengaluru With a Vehicle From Another State
Bengaluru has a large population of people who’ve moved from other states, often with their vehicles. A vehicle kept in Karnataka for more than 12 months needs to be re-registered here. That means getting an NOC from the original state, then applying at the RTO covering your new address, such as KA-04 if you live in its area, and paying Karnataka road tax. You can usually claim a refund of the unused tax from your original state. If you move between states often for work, a Bharat (BH) series registration may be worth considering at the time of buying a new vehicle.
Tips for Visiting the RTO
Apply and pay online first, and carry printouts of your application and receipt. Take originals and a set of photocopies of every document. Arrive early for driving tests, since slots run to a schedule. Deal directly with the office rather than paying touts outside, and keep copies of everything you submit.
