Can we change yellow board car to white board?

To convert a vehicle with a commercial (yellow board) registration to a private (white board) registration in India, there are several steps and conditions you need to be aware of:

Eligibility and Waiting Period

There is typically a waiting period of three years from the date of registration of the vehicle before you can convert it from a yellow board to a white board2.

Steps to Convert

1. Cancel the Commercial Permit: You need to apply to cancel the existing commercial permit at the Regional Transport Office (RTO)1.
2. Gather Required Documents: This includes a photocopy of the RC (Registration Certificate), insurance documents, address proof (such as Aadhar card or voter ID), ID proof, PAN card, and two photographs. If the vehicle is financed, you will need permission from the financier1.
3. Submit Documents: Visit the RTO office and submit the required documents along with the application for conversion.
4. Registration: After the commercial permit is cancelled, you will need to apply for a new registration as a private vehicle, providing the necessary documents and proofs1.

Additional Considerations

• State Regulations: Rules may vary by state, so it is important to check the specific regulations in your state4.
• Speed Limit: If the vehicle has a speed limit (e.g., 80 km/h for yellow board vehicles in some states), this will need to be removed as part of the conversion process4.

By following these steps and ensuring you meet the eligibility criteria, you can convert a yellow board vehicle to a white board vehicle. However, it is advisable to check with the local RTO for any specific requirements or updates in regulations.
