Hi Everyone,
I am from Cochin,Kerala working at a Private company in Vadodara, Gujarat since last 6 years. Let me directly come to the point. I have bought a used Maruti 800 car about 1 month back and I am the 3rd owner of the vehicle. As I was not familiar with the RTO procedures, I took help of the previous owner itself for transfer of ownership of the car. But unfortunately it was after the vehicle got transferred to my name that I noticed 2 mistakes in the RC book.
1. Last five digits of Chassis no: handwritten in RC book is 56935 while actually it is 56945 imprinted on the vehicle
2. Body type imprinted on the RC book is SEDAN which I believe is also not true in case of Maruti 800.
When I enquired with Vadodara RTO, they said that its not a big deal correcting those mistakes ,but I must produce a proof for the same. I just want to ask whether if am taking my vehicle itself to RTO, will that solve the purpose?
if not then what should I do for getting the mistakes corrected? Please provide your valuable suggestions regarding the same....

Dear Jimajo
it is not a fault but it is a fraud it is better for U that return the car previous owner and take back amount. it may be a stolen car because after six years a fact reveal it is not acceptable argument.

The incorrect chassis number could be corrected by RTO. It is only a mistake. You may have to file a affidavit.
Body type is correctly shown as sedan.
