| How To Get Rc Book Online If Lost |
Step 1: File a Police Report (Because Apparently Your RC Book Went Rogue) ️♀️
Yes, yes, we know this sounds dramatic. But it's a necessary step to ensure no funny business is afoot with your precious RC book. Think of it as filing a missing person's report, except way less heartbreaking (hopefully). Head to your local police station and explain your situation. They'll most likely give you a copy of the FIR (First Information Report), a document that basically says, "Hey officer, my RC book is missing and I'm not the criminal mastermind you might be thinking."
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can wear a trench coat and fedora while filing the report. Bonus points for a magnifying glass.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
Step 2: Dive into the Wonderful World of Parivahan Sewa (Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds)
The Parivahan Sewa website is your knight in shining armor (or should we say, website in digital armor?). This is where the online application magic happens. Head over to [parivahan.gov.in] and get ready to be amazed (or mildly confused, but that's okay, we'll walk you through it).
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
Step 3: The Fun Part (Filling Out the Form, But Hey, At Least It's Online)
Find the section for "Online Services" and then "Vehicle Related Services." Here, you'll find the option for a duplicate RC. Brace yourself for a few form-filling thrills (okay, maybe not thrills, but definitely a requirement). You'll need your vehicle registration number, the last 5 digits of your chassis number (it's like a car fingerprint!), and some other bits and bobs.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.

Important Note: Don't forget to double-check all your information before submitting. Nobody wants a duplicate RC with the wrong address, unless of course, you're going for that whole witness protection program vibe.
Step 4: Pay Up, Buttercup (But It's Online, So That's Kinda Cool)
There's a small fee associated with getting a duplicate RC book. But hey, at least you don't have to deal with pesky lines or hunt for exact change. Most states allow online payments these days, so you can pay with your credit card or debit card and feel like a financial whiz.
Step 5: The Waiting Game (Because Nobody Likes Waiting, But It's Worth It) ⏳
After submitting your application, you'll be given an acknowledgement number. Hold onto that like it's the last slice of pizza! It will allow you to track the status of your application online. Now comes the not-so-fun part: waiting. But fret not, for soon your new RC book will arrive, a beacon of responsibility in a world of lost documents.
Congratulations! You've successfully obtained your duplicate RC book online. Now you can celebrate by doing something awesome, like a victory lap around your driveway (just don't forget to buckle up!).
