A.Hello,
ear Sir,

If somebody sells her/her vehicle then it is to be communicated to the registering authority within 14 days by submitting a prescribed form. This form contains a signature of purchaser. It means it is a joint responsibility. But for any reason the vehicle is NOT transferred, then all legal responsibility lies with the owner whose name is there in official records of registering authority.

Many times people sell their vehicle to agents and then agents sell it to somebody. And while doing this blank forms signed by previous owner are forwarded to next owner to avoid the transfer cost and to save the time and trips to RTO office. It is dangerous practice. If anything goes wrong the agents/ middle men will not share any responsibility.

So it is better to do the paperwork on time, each time to save oneself.

I recommend you to read the Form 29 and 30 carefully to understand the responsibility.

You can send a legal notice to a buyer if he is not cooperating. RTO will recover a late fee/ compounding fee for late submission of transfer documents. This fee is small but your legal responsibility is much bigger.

A.Dear Client,

As per the provision of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and Rules 1989, once a vehicle sold through receipt of money, purchaser has to submit the statutory forms with the Registering Authority/RTO concerned within 30 days from the date of sale for transfer of ownership and change of address in the RC of the Vehicle.. In case the Purchaser is not cooperating with you, inform the matter ASAP in writing to the concerned RA/RTO and take a receipt of the same , better to send by Speed Post to download the delivery status from India Post. This action may save you from any kind of litigations if arises out of a sold-out vehicle running unregistered in the name of the new owner on the road.
