Vehicles have become an integral part of the Indian population be it cars or bikes or other types of vehicles. Each vehicle comes with its registration certificate (RC) which is an essential document that states details about the vehicle, engine number, chassis number, and details related to the owner (on whom the vehicle is registered) and is authorized by the concerned RTO itself.

The RTO keeps a database of all the vehicles in the system along with the owner’s details. RTO is the authority that takes care of transferring RC from one person to another in the event of buying and selling (normal sale), if the owner has expired or if the said vehicle has been auctioned. In such cases, the transfer of RC is crucial as it changes the details of the vehicle owner in the RTO’s database.

There’s a said procedure that vehicle owners have to follow in order to transfer RC from one person to another. Luckily, you can apply for RC transfer online as well which makes it easier to apply rather than going to the RTO in person. Here’s a list of all the documents that you would need to transfer RC Online as well as the exact procedure to do it online.
