What Are RTO Codes in West Bengal?

Every Regional Transport Office (RTO) in West Bengal is assigned a unique two-digit code by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). This code forms the second segment of a vehicle's registration number, immediately after the state prefix WB.

For example, a vehicle registered at Beltala (two Wheelers) carries the code WB-01 in its number plate. This system helps law enforcement, insurance companies, and traffic authorities instantly identify where a vehicle was originally registered.

West Bengal currently has 99 registered RTOs spread across its districts and cities, each serving vehicle owners in that region.
