Vehicle Ownership Transfer Service
Hassle-free vehicle ownership transfer (RC name change) with complete support for buyer–seller paperwork, challan and loan checks, and RTO submissions.
Ownership Transfer (RC Transfer)
Selling or buying a used vehicle? We help you complete the legal ownership transfer so that the Registration Certificate (RC) is updated in the correct name without delays or rejections.
Under the Motor Vehicles Act, it is mandatory to transfer ownership in the name of the buyer after a sale. This protects both parties from future traffic challans, insurance disputes, and legal liability. Our team handles Form 29 & 30, ID/address verification, challan and hypothecation checks, and RTO follow-ups till the RC shows the new owner’s name.
Whether it is within the same city, same State, or from one State to another (interstate sale with NOC), we coordinate the entire process with complete transparency, clear timelines, and regular updates.
Legal Process Explained (Section 50, MV Act)
Mandatory Intimation of Transfer
When a vehicle is sold, the transfer of ownership must be reported to the registering authority
within the prescribed time. The RC must be updated in the buyer’s name as per the Motor Vehicles Act.
(Ref: Section 50(1), MV Act)
Time Limits for Ownership Transfer
The Act prescribes timelines to apply for transfer after the sale:
typically within 14 days for same-RTO transfers and within 45 days for transfers involving other
registering authorities, subject to State rules.
(Ref: Section 50(1) & Central/State Rules)
Interstate Transfers & NOC
If the vehicle is being transferred to another State, an NOC from the original registering
authority is required before the new authority can enter the buyer’s name in the RC.
(Read with Sections 47 & 48, MV Act)
Vehicles Under Loan / Hypothecation
If the vehicle is under hypothecation (loan / lease / hire purchase), the financier’s consent and
NOC may be required before the registering authority records the new owner’s name.
(Ref: Section 51, MV Act)
Update in Registration Records
Once documents are verified and fees are paid, the registering authority updates the record,
issues a fresh RC copy or smart card, and records the new owner’s name in the official register.
(Ref: Section 50(2), MV Act)

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about vehicle ownership transfer under Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act
Vehicle ownership transfer (RC transfer) is the process of changing the name of the registered owner in the Registration Certificate after the vehicle is sold to a new buyer. (Ref: Section 50, Motor Vehicles Act)
If you don’t transfer the RC, you may still receive traffic challans, tax notices, or be held liable for accidents or offences committed by the new user. Ownership transfer legally shifts responsibility to the buyer.
The Act and rules generally require intimation and application within a limited period from the date of transfer (for example, 14 days in same-RTO cases and 45 days where another registering authority is involved, depending on the State rules). It is always safer to apply as early as possible. (See Section 50(1))
Both parties have roles: the seller must report the transfer, and the buyer must apply for transfer of ownership in their name. In practice, many buyers engage agents or service providers like us to complete the paperwork on their behalf.
Typically:
• Original RC
• Valid insurance
• Pollution certificate (PUC)
• Buyer & seller ID and address proof
• Form 29 & Form 30
• Passport-size photographs
• NOC from financier (if under loan)
State/RTO may ask for additional documents.
Yes. For interstate transfers, an NOC from the original registering authority is generally required before the new State RTO can record the new owner’s name. (Read with Sections 47 & 48)
In most cases, you need the financier’s NOC or permission before transferring ownership or removing their endorsement from the RC. (Ref: Section 51, MV Act)
Generally, pending challans and dues must be cleared before the RTO completes ownership transfer. We help you check and resolve outstanding challans to avoid delays or rejection.
Delays may attract penalties as per State rules, and you may face issues in insurance claims or legal liability. It is strongly recommended to complete the transfer within the prescribed time limits. (Section 50 read with State rules)
We assist with document checks, preparation of forms, coordination with buyer & seller, challan and loan status verification, RTO submission, fee payment support, and tracking till RC is updated in the buyer’s name.
