Transferring an out-of-state car or two-wheeler to Delhi requires re-registration with the local Zonal Regional Transport Office (RTO) under Section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Vehicle owners moving to Delhi for over 12 months must pay Delhi pro-rata lifetime road tax and obtain a new DL series Registration Certificate (RC) Smart Card.
However, due to strict environmental policies enforced across the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, specific emissions compliance rules govern all incoming inter-state vehicle transfers.
Before obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your parent state or submitting documents to a Delhi RTO, verify your vehicle's emissions standard:
BS6 / Euro 6 Compliance Standard: Vehicles transferred from another state into Delhi must comply with BS6 / Euro 6 emission standards to be eligible for re-registration and new DL series smart card issuance.
Non-BS6 / Pre-Euro 6 Rejections: Out-of-state vehicles meeting BS4, BS3, or older standards cannot be re-registered at Delhi RTOs. Attempting to transfer a non-BS6 vehicle into Delhi will lead to immediate rejection by the Delhi Transport Department.
