What is it?

The VAHAN API provides access to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) vehicle registration database. It returns complete RC data for any registered vehicle in India, searchable by registration number, chassis number, or engine number.

The response includes owner details, address, make/model/color, fuel type, body type, emission norms, insurance, fitness, tax validity, PUC, GVW, seating capacity, wheelbase, blacklist status, NOC details, and full owner history.

Benefits

  • Verify vehicle ownership and registration details instantly
  • Check insurance, fitness, and tax validity status
  • Identify blacklisted or encumbered vehicles before transactions
  • Lookup by registration number, chassis number, or engine number

What you can do

Verify vehicle details for pre-purchase due diligence, loan and insurance underwriting, fleet onboarding, stolen vehicle checks, and regulatory compliance workflows.

    Whether this request was charged: true if it was, false if not. Errors always show false. Flows that finish later (ITR Fetch, SHCIL eStamp, DigiLocker, eSign) show false here, because the charge is made when the result is ready. eSign charges each signer when they complete signing. DigiLocker deducts the credit when the link is created and refunds it automatically if the link expires before the user completes it.

    Whether this request was charged: true if it was, false if not. Errors always show false. Flows that finish later (ITR Fetch, SHCIL eStamp, DigiLocker, eSign) show false here, because the charge is made when the result is ready. eSign charges each signer when they complete signing. DigiLocker deducts the credit when the link is created and refunds it automatically if the link expires before the user completes it.

    Whether this request was charged: true if it was, false if not. Errors always show false. Flows that finish later (ITR Fetch, SHCIL eStamp, DigiLocker, eSign) show false here, because the charge is made when the result is ready. eSign charges each signer when they complete signing. DigiLocker deducts the credit when the link is created and refunds it automatically if the link expires before the user completes it.
