Can I Ride My New Bike with Just the Registration Receipt, or Do I Need the Number Plate?

I was stopped by a traffic policeman in a traffic area. He warned me not to ride a new vehicle without registration, or I will be imposed a penalty of $2500 as a fine. I have registered my bike, and I have the receipt.

Can I ride my bike with this receipt, or do I need to get the registration number plate before riding the bike? Is riding without a registration number plate a violation of the rules?

I need your suggestion, please.

Thanks,

Suresh T.K.

Vehicle Registration Requirements

You are liable to be fined for not displaying your vehicle number on the number plate (front and back) in the specified size with no logo or any inscription. Nowadays, the vehicle number is issued by the vehicle dealer. You can drive the vehicle with a temporary registration certificate issued by the RTO.
