RC Transfer Status: How to Transfer Vehicle Ownership

If you are selling your vehicle, you must transfer the vehicle ownership or do an RC transfer in the new owner’s name. This ensures that the new owner’s name has been entered in the RTO’s information database.

If the vehicle owner meets an unfortunate demise, then the ownership needs to be transferred on the lawful heir’s name.

In case the vehicle has been auctioned to pay off debts, then the ownership must be transferred to the new owner’s name.
