With most of the car registration services now available to perform online, another one joins the list, car ownership transfer. There is a catch though. You can only fill the form online and would still need to physically go to an RTO to submit the said form.
Types Of Ownership Transfer
To transfer RC there are three different cases. Transfer in case of a normal sale, transfer in case of death of the owner and transfer of owner when the vehicle is purchased in a public auction.
In case of a normal sale, when a vehicle is sold, the name of the purchaser is noted as the registered owner in place of the previous registered owner. To transfer ownership Form 29 has to be filled by the person selling the car from the official website of the government and Form 30 has to be filled by the person getting the car.
In the case of death of the registered owner, the new owner is the legal heir of the deceased and he/ she can use the vehicle for three months without needing to transfer ownership only after informing the registering authority of the death of the previous owner within thirty days. He/She also has to inform the authority about the intention to use the vehicle. Form 31 needs to be filled in this case
In case of purchasing the vehicle form, a public auction its similar to the normal case and form 32 is to be submitted within thirty days.
