A physical inspection you can show buyers

A Rathika inspector visits the car, works through a standard checklist and photographs it. After our team reviews the report, your listing earns the Inspected Vehicle badge.

This report reflects what the inspector observed on the day of inspection. It is not a warranty or guarantee. Odometer readings are recorded, not certified, and the inspection does not verify legal ownership or documents — see the Documents Checked badge for that.

Three different checks, three different badges

Verified Seller / Dealer — we reviewed who is selling. Documents Checked — we read the RC and insurance papers (not a government-database check). Inspected Vehicle — an inspector examined this car and the report was approved. One never implies another. Badges expire and are removed if a car's identity details change.

Inspections are available for cars in Kolkata and nearby areas. Rathika is a private service provider, not a government authority.
