Office Governance: Patiala RTO ↔ State Transport

The Patiala RTO office operates strictly as a local executive node under the administrative control of the Punjab Transport Commissionerate. While local public counters, biometric booking services, and automated ADTT driving tests are managed on the ground here, all key compounding tax percentages, road safety cess structures, and faceless software rules are legislated at the state department level.
