Questions people ask

How many RTO codes does Punjab have?

93 in our list, running from PB-02 to PB-99.

Which RTO is PB-02?

PB-02 is Amritsar (1), in Punjab.

Why are some Punjab numbers missing from this list?

5 numbers inside the range are not listed — PB-94, PB-95, PB-96 among them. Usually the state never issued them: Tamil Nadu skips every code whose digits add to eight, and others hold numbers back as reserved. A gap is normally the state's own decision, not a hole in our list.

Why does one city in Punjab have several RTO codes?

Amritsar holds 2 of them — PB-02, PB-89. A busy city is usually split by vehicle class or by zone rather than served by one office, so which code a plate carries depends on where and what was registered, not on the city being listed twice.

Codes are the only part of a registration number that means anything on its own. Office addresses and phone numbers go stale fastest; codes and districts rarely change.
