Advance Number in " G " series - RTO Cannot allot.

The Government have clarified that any requisition for advance number in G series for Government vehicles has to be considered by the Government only and not the RTO.

The Transport Commissioner has also issued a recent circular in this regard. Circular No.17/2009 specifically states this.

The Government in letter No. 33829/Tr.VI/2008-5 dated 5.10.2009 has issued instructions that any advance number in G series without prior allotment by the Government should not be allotted by the Registering Authority on his own. If Collector or S.P. of a District requests any advance number in the current series that too within the stipulated 1000 bench mark then the Registering Authority can inform that the number is available and Government alone is competent to allot such advance number.

In a recent incident, an advance number alloted by an RTO was cancelled by the Government. So any advance number in G series even within 1000 numbers, can be allotted by the Government only.
