Legal Process for Issuing a Duplicate RC (Section 41 & 51)
When and Why Duplicate RC Is Issued
A duplicate Registration Certificate (RC) is issued when the original one is lost, destroyed,
or becomes unreadable due to damage or mutilation. The Act authorizes the RTO to issue a
duplicate RC only after verifying the genuineness of the request—especially for vehicles
under hire-purchase, lease, or hypothecation agreements.
(Ref: Section 41(14) via Section 51(8))
Requirement of Financier NOC
If the vehicle is under hypothecation, the applicant must obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC)
from the financier before applying for a duplicate RC. If the financier refuses, they must provide
written reasons. If the financier does not issue or refuse the NOC within 7 days, it is
legally treated as deemed to be granted.
(Ref: Section 51(7) & Section 51(8))
RTO’s Authority to Approve or Reject the Application
Based on the financier’s response (or deemed approval) and its own verification, the RTO may
issue or refuse the duplicate RC. Before refusing the request, the RTO must provide the
applicant with an opportunity to be heard, ensuring fair procedure under law.
(Ref: Section 51(9))
Communication of Duplicate RC to Relevant Parties
Once the duplicate RC is issued, the RTO must officially notify the financier and any other
concerned authority. This keeps all registration and financing records updated and accurate,
preventing future ownership or loan-related disputes.
(Ref: Section 51(11))
