MH-47 Dahisar Deputy RTO Office: Address, Timings & Services (Complete Guide)

We’ve catalogued the stringent nature of Mumbai road rules and traffic regulations before here, alongside the important role RTOs play in helping maintain the city’s traffic, especially in critical activities like handling licenses, vehicle registrations, transfers, challans, and obtaining transfer permits for each specific zone.

Nowadays, the Dahisar Deputy RTO manages thousands of daily appointments: from DL tests to RC renewals and permit applications.

Are you someone who lives in  Dahisar East/West, Borivali East/West, Mira Road, Shantivan, Kandarpada, Mandapeshwar Road, IC Colony, Gorai, or nearby areas? Chances are most of your transport-related paperwork falls under the jurisdiction of the Dahisar Deputy RTO (MH-47).

What Is MH-47?

MH-47 is the registration code for the Deputy Regional Transport Office covering Mumbai's northern suburbs, operating under the Maharashtra Transport Department. It is the licensing authority (Section 9) and registering authority (Section 39) under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for Dahisar East and West, Borivali East and West, and the surrounding Kandarpada, Mandapeshwar Road and IC Colony belt. It's sometimes informally referred to as the Borivali RTO, since the office was set up to ease pressure on Mumbai's older, more central RTOs as the northern suburbs grew.

Jurisdiction and Localities

MH-47's catchment covers Dahisar East and West, Borivali East and West, Kandarpada, Mandapeshwar Road, IC Colony and nearby northern-suburb localities.

PIN codes in the approved jurisdiction set: 400068, 400091, 400067, 400092. 400068 (Dahisar, the office's own PIN) is directly confirmed by multiple independent sources and by the location data for the nearby metro stations. Confirm your exact locality through India Post or Parivahan if you're near a jurisdiction boundary.

Online vs In-Person

A number of routine MH-47 services — registration-related applications, ownership transfer, duplicate RCs, and licence renewals in many cases — can be completed through Parivahan's faceless e-governance workflow without a counter visit. An in-person visit generally remains necessary for the practical driving test and commercial/auto-rickshaw fitness inspection.

The Content Pack's research describes "33+ routine services" as fully faceless; we could not independently verify this figure, so treat it as a general direction rather than a confirmed current count — check the current service list on Parivahan before assuming a specific service is available online.

Driving Skill Testing

Practical driving tests for MH-47 are associated with an open test ground along Dahisar Link Road/Kandarpada — a separate location from the counters where you'd handle paperwork, even though both may sit within the same broader office compound. We could not independently verify the exact current appointment/slot-booking rules, so confirm your test slot and venue through Sarathi or the Maharashtra Transport Department rather than assuming a specific procedure.

Commercial Vehicle Fitness

Auto-rickshaw and commercial vehicle fitness inspections for MH-47 are associated with a dedicated testing bay in the Dahisar area, distinct from the routine registration/licensing counters. We could not independently verify the exact current inspection process or its precise relationship to the main office — confirm by phone before sending a vehicle for testing.
