The transfer of a vehicle from one state to another requires legal documentation and paperwork. Every state and union territory has local RTOs who regulate guidelines and manage the transfer of vehicles. If you are going to another state/UT for less than 3 months, you are not required to apply for an address change and re-registration. When you are moving to another state or union territory for over a year, you are legally bound to obtain an NOC from your local RTO for the re-registration of the vehicle. There are many regulations and paperwork that need to be followed to complete the re-registration process.
How to apply for an NOC Certificate?
-
The owner of the vehicle will need to visit the local RTO in person to submit the application for the NOC.
-
The completed CMV 28 form needs to be submitted along with various important documents.
-
You are required to make a payment of Rs.100 for the NOC application.
-
Once the application has been submitted, the RTO will obtain a report of the vehicle from the Police authority to check if the vehicle is involved in any criminal case or stolen.
-
If there are no outstanding dues or DSA cases pending against the vehicle, a receipt of clearance is obtained and No Objection Certificate is issued.
-
The RTO will take three business days to issue the NOC Certificate.
An NOC is valid for a period of six months. Once the NOC is expired, you will not be able to produce the same for re-registering. You are expected to submit the NOC and the required documents to the local RTO of the state you are shifting to, within six months.
The NOC is not only required for moving a vehicle from one state to another but also when a vehicle is being sold to someone who intends to take it to another state or union territory. The interstate vehicle transfers can turn out to be a little complicated in India. There are many agencies and vehicle transportation firms who can help you out in knowing more about the procedures.
