Lost your vehicle’s Registration Card? Here’s how to obtain a Duplicate RC

Realizing how this was going to be a frustrating experience (since any interaction with a government agency usually is), I made up my mind to do something about it. That is when the idea of vlogging the whole thing struck.

The first step was the most basic one that everyone would do – Google! I ended up on a Quora post detailing the entire process. Do refer to the video below for the full story,
