RTO SMS service

SMS service being offered to public by the RTO to track hit-and-run offenders

Anyone can obtain the information on a vehicle owner by sending the registration number to 56006. Within seconds, the name of the vehicle owner and the vehicle details will be displayed on the SMS sender’s mobile screen helping the public to lodge a police complaint in hit-and-car cases. Details of 16 lakh vehicles (registration numbers starting with KA-01, KA-02, KA-03, KA-04 and KA-05) have been stored in the database. The details of around 70 lakh vehicles will be uploaded in the next eight months. The information on all vehicles which were registered before February 15 has already been uploaded. Vehicles with registration numbers up to KA – 55 will be added shortly.

One can type RTOKA-05-AA-0000 and send it to 56006 from the mobile phone. Each SMS will cost about Rs 3.
