Khairatabad RTO TG-09: Hyderabad address and timings

On a plate like TG 09 AB 1234, the first pair of letters names the state, Telangana, and 09 tells you the car was registered at the Khairatabad office. The letters AB mark the series, and 1234 is the four-digit number.

Worth knowing: Plates issued here before the 2024 change carry TS 09, and reports say those numbers stay as they are. An owner who later moves from Punjagutta to Kukatpally keeps the 09 too, as the code changes only if the car is re-registered outside Telangana or its registration details are changed.

A TG-09 car bought new on or after 1 April 2019 already wears a High Security Registration Plate (HSRP), put on by the maker and dealer. An older car on the Khairatabad list still needs one installed.

Plates are booked online. Use the booking portal named on the Telangana transport department website, which also gives the date for your car. Anything else about TG-09 plates, such as the stickers, is covered on our Telangana RTO guide.

Khairatabad uses a single code, TG-09, which replaced TS-09 for new registrations under central notification S.O. 1306(E) of 12 March 2024. The other four Hyderabad zones each have their own number, so a car from Secunderabad or Tolichowki is not a Khairatabad car.

Do not head for Khairatabad itself. The Central Zone office carries the Khairatabad name, but the Citizens’ Charter puts it at Somajiguda, opposite the Eenadu office, Hyderabad 500082.

These times come from a charter written in 2017, so check before you go. Hand in applications before the 2:00 pm cut-off, and note that the charter keeps number reservation to the morning, from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm.

What the Khairatabad RTO does not handle

Driving tests are not taken at Somajiguda. They are held at the Nagole Driving Test Track, so book the slot on Sarathi and go there on the day. A brand-new car is usually entered on Vahan by the dealer, and it reaches this office only for approval.

The charter lists the areas below for the Central Zone, though its table is laid out unevenly, so read them as a guide and match your RC address to them.

Worth knowing: Shaikpet and Jubilee Hills are on the Khairatabad list, yet Tolichowki and Mehdipatnam next door are West Zone, and Madhapur and Gachibowli belong to Rangareddy. Go by the list, not by how close an office feels.

The office has no tax rate of its own and simply collects the Telangana life tax once, when a TG-09 car is first registered. The bands below depend on the car’s price and on whether an individual, a company or a second-car owner registers it.

Since 1 March 2026 a new car also pays a single ₹5,000 road safety cess. The second-vehicle rate follows the order’s own words, “second or more personalised vehicles”; a change to it was reported in February 2026, but no order was found, so check on Vahan before you pay. Scooters and motorcycles have their own bands, set out on our Telangana RTO guide.

Somajiguda charges the national RTO fees, the same as every other office in the state. They are paid through the Vahan portal, and for a new car they are part of what the dealer collects.

For example: Register a new financed car at Khairatabad and the RTO side of the bill is ₹2,300, which is the ₹600 registration, the ₹200 smart card RC and ₹1,500 for the hypothecation, with life tax on top.

For a Punjagutta car turning 15, the renewal is ₹5,000, and ₹10,000 beyond 20 years. Each month it runs late costs a further ₹500, or ₹300 for a motorcycle.

Plates, life tax, the road safety cess and other state service charges are billed separately from these fees.

Sell a car with TG-09 or TS-09 on its RC and the transfer belongs to Khairatabad, even if the buyer lives in Uppal. Apply on Vahan with Form 29 from the seller and Form 30 signed by both, and pay ₹300 for a car or ₹150 for a motorcycle.

Within 14 days of the change, the new owner should have the policy transferred as well.

Removing a loan (hypothecation) at Khairatabad RTO

When the loan is cleared, file Form 35 with the lender’s No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the TG-09 RC. No RTO fee applies, though a state service charge may. For the paperwork behind each Khairatabad step, open our Telangana RTO guide.

Since 23 March 2026, work on a TG-09 vehicle starts on the Vahan portal, while learner and driving licences go through the Sarathi portal. Khairatabad then picks up whatever needs checking in person.

Duplicate RC and RC status check for Khairatabad

Apply for a duplicate of a lost TG-09 RC on Form 26, with the fee from the fees table. To see what an RC shows, use the Kiwi Insurance RC status check.

Driving licence services for Khairatabad

Licence applications go on Sarathi, and the test itself is at Nagole, not Somajiguda. Every Hyderabad office is described on our Hyderabad RTO guide.

Challans are paid online. Enter the TG-09 or TS-09 registration on echallan.parivahan.gov.in, or open mParivahan, to see what is due and settle it there.

The rest are on our Telangana RTO guide.

Moving into Ameerpet or Banjara Hills from elsewhere in Telangana, keep your number and update the RC address. From another state, the car must be re-registered here with a TG-09 number once it has stayed in Telangana beyond 12 months.

If you are leaving Telangana, apply for the NOC on Form 28 to Khairatabad online, with a slot booking, and bring the RC, the policy, the tax paid proof, a PUC certificate and a police verification certificate. Inform your insurer once the new number is issued, and see our Telangana RTO guide for the details.

Living in the Central Zone but often transferred between states? Ask the dealer to apply for a Bharat series (BH) number for you in place of TG-09, and the car needs no NOC when you move on.

Staff of a private firm with offices in 4 or more states or union territories add Form 60 from the employer. The format is YY BH #### XX, where YY is the year of first registration, the four digits are allotted at random, and XX represents the alphabetic series, which can be a single letter or two letters. It is black on a white plate, like any other private car.

Eligibility and the BH tax are on our Telangana RTO guide.

Vahan and Sarathi carry most of these online now. Keep a printed copy handy only if Khairatabad asks you for paper.

Every other form is on the list of RTO forms on the Parivahan Sewa website, and our Telangana RTO guide explains when each applies.

How insurance links to the Khairatabad RTO

Khairatabad will not register a car without valid cover. When it records a new owner, address or number, inform your insurer so the policy and the TG-09 RC say the same thing.
