Bangalore-specific notes
Bangalore City Police accept NCRs online through the Citizen Services portal, which speeds up the first step. Duplicate RC and DL applications are processed on Vahan / Sarathi (parivahan.gov.in), with the smart card printed centrally and dispatched to the registered address. Surendra N S, our senior RTO partner, handles most of this work for South Bangalore sub-RTOs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a duplicate RC in Karnataka?
Typically 10–20 days from the date the duplicate application is accepted on Vahan, provided the loss affidavit and NCR are in place. If a biometric check is flagged, add another 5–7 days.
Can I drive while the duplicate DL is being processed?
No — you need a valid DL to legally drive. A copy of the NCR + the duplicate application acknowledgement provides short-term cover in case of a traffic check but is not a substitute for a valid DL. We recommend waiting for the smart card before resuming driving.
My RC is torn, not lost — does this bundle still apply?
Yes. Torn/mutilated RC/DL replacement follows the same workflow minus the NCR step, and costs slightly less. Tell us upfront and we adjust the quote.
Is an NCR mandatory for a duplicate DL?
Yes, Karnataka sub-RTOs ask for a police report (NCR is sufficient) plus a notarised loss affidavit before issuing a duplicate.
