Maharashtra RTO Code Format

The Maharashtra RTO code format consists of several key components like,

• State Code

The code begins with "MH," which represents Maharashtra.

• Regional Code

Following "MH," there is a two-digit number that indicates the specific city or district. For instance, "MH01" refers to Mumbai.

• Unique Number

After the regional code, each vehicle has a unique identification number.

For example, in the code "MH12 AB 1234"

• "MH12" indicates the vehicle is registered in Pune.
• "AB" represents an optional letter combination.
• "1234" is the unique vehicle number.

This RTO format helps to identify the ownership of vehicles registered in Maharashtra.
