Pune RTO to Replace MH-12 Vehicle Registration Code with MH-61 After Exhaustion
Pune's Regional Transport Office (RTO) will replace the MH-12 vehicle registration code with MH-61 after exhausting all alphanumeric combinations in the MH-12 series, used since 1989. Pune is the first city in Maharashtra to reach this limit. Registration under MH-61 will begin after completing the process for fancy numbers, with backend testing underway. The MH-61 code is a temporary measure pending Union government approval for a revised format retaining Pune's MH-12 identity.
