Ahmedabad, Gujarat: Ahmedabad RTO Software Glitch is delaying vehicle ownership transfers for cars and two-wheelers registered before 2017, causing inconvenience to people who purchased second-hand vehicles during the Navratri and Dussehra festive season.
According to a report by DeshGujarat published on October 21, 2026, the online application system now requires applicants to enter the vehicle’s wheelbase details. However, these measurements are often unavailable in the registration records of older vehicles, preventing buyers from completing the ownership transfer process.
Mandatory Wheelbase Details Create Problems
The wheelbase is the distance between the centres of a vehicle’s front and rear wheels. While this is a standard technical specification, older vehicle registration documents may not contain the information required by the updated online system.
Since the wheelbase field is mandatory, applicants cannot proceed with their applications when the details are unavailable. As a result, some vehicle owners have reportedly been forced to visit RTO offices repeatedly to resolve the issue.
The technical problem has created additional inconvenience for people who purchased used cars and two-wheelers, often as a more affordable alternative to buying new vehicles.
