Step 9: Transferring Ownership |
|
|
|
|
|

When you buy used car, the ownership of the vehicle changes. It is important to
get the ownership changed in the registration papers. The original owner
(Transferer) who is selling the car, must inform the RTO with which the car was
registered about this transfer, by sending a letter with information about the
new owner (Transferee) within a period of 14 days.
In case the new owner falls in jurisdiction of another RTO, then the owner has
to inform this RTO by sending a similar letter. On receiving an acknowledgement
of receipt of the letter from the RTO, the seller (Transferer) is indemnified
of all legal, tax, traffic, criminal and other liabilities pertaining to the
car. The seller must also take a delivery note signed by the buyer
(Transferee).
The following documents have to be submitted to the RTO to effect the transfer
of ownership of the car:
|
|
|
|
|
| |
1 |
Form "TCA" - Intimation of transfer by Transferee (Buyer)
|
|
| |
2 |
Form "TCR" - Intimation of transfer by Transferor (Seller)
|
|
| |
3 |
Form No.29 - Notice of transfer of ownership of vehicle. : This form is used to
notify the RTO 'transfer of ownership' of the car and to obtain confirmation
from the RTO.
|
|
|
4 |
Form No.30 - Report of transfer of ownership of vehicle.
|
|
|
5 |
Valid Insurance policy
|
|
|
6 |
PUC Certificate
|
|
|
7 |
Address proof of the Transferee (Buyer)
|
|
|
8 |
Evidence of payment of all taxes up-to-date. |
|
|
9 |
Form No.28 - Application for N.O.C. and
grant of certificate: This form is used to apply for NOC from the RTO for
transfer of the vehicle to another RTO's jurisdiction. This is required when
you shift the registration of the car from the jurisdiction of one RTO to
another RTO.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Keeping these simple things in mind should enable you to have a smooth ride
where your second-hand car is concerned.
PS: It is in the interest of the seller that the concerned RTOs are intimated
as early as possible, with evidence of such information (registered post,
receipt etc.) If such intimation is not made and the vehicle is involved in a
crime, accident or traffic violation, the authorities will hold the original
owner responsible.
