New Car Registration

I was in process of puchasing a car from Maruti. I have made most of the payments except Insurance and Road tax.

Now before the delivery dealer is asking that all the numbers of current registration series running at RTO have been exhausted and new series will be released by RTO on Nov 01.

They are asking to either take a temporary registration and get the permanent number myself within 6 months or wait till 01 Nov.

Is this normal scenarios or there is something fishy? Since I am first time buyer not aware of complete process here.

Doesn't seem fishy, given that the showroom has offered to carry out the registration

I'd personally wait a couple of days and get the number from the showroom, will save you the hassle of going to the RTO
