What is Vahan?

Definition

Vahan is the Indian government’s national vehicle registration database. Its API allows verification of a vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC), insurance validity, PUC status, and pending challans from the number plate.

Why it matters for Indian fleets

Vahan verification lets fleets confirm a vehicle’s documents are valid before onboarding or dispatch, avoiding fines for expired papers and reducing fraud.

How to check vehicle details on Vahan

Open the official mParivahan app, or the “Know Your Vehicle Details” service on parivahan.gov.in.
Enter the vehicle registration number, for example RJ14AB1234.
View the make and model, registering RTO, registration and fitness dates, insurance validity and PUC status.
For pending fines, check the same number on echallan.parivahan.gov.in. Individual owner personal details are masked for privacy.
