Question 3

Is checking RC details on Vahan 24 free?

Yes. Vahan 24 lets you check RC details and vehicle owner information for free, with no login or app install required. For privacy, sensitive fields such as the owner name, engine and chassis number are partially masked exactly as provided by the source.

Question 4

Why is the owner name partially hidden?

To protect personal privacy, the owner name and identifiers like engine and chassis numbers are partially masked (for example P***A K***A). This is in line with data-protection norms while still letting you verify a vehicle before a second-hand purchase or for a traffic challan.

Yes. Along with RC details, Vahan 24 shows the insurance validity, PUCC (Pollution Under Control) expiry, fitness certificate validity and road-tax paid-upto date so you can confirm whether a vehicle is road-legal.
