Dear Client,
As per the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the M V Rules, 1989, once a vehicle is sold, the purchaser has to submit statutory forms and other required documents along with transfer fees within 30 days to the concerned RTO/Registering Authority for processing the transfer of ownership of the vehicle and change of address in the Certificate of Registration (RC) failing which the applicant Buyer has to pay fine or penalty for delay in submission of application for transfer of ownership(TO) and change of address(CA). When more than three months have passed after delivery of your old vehicle and if the running vehicle is used by the Buyer/New owner without transferring ownership of the vehicle and in case the vehicle met with an accident, theft or any other violation of the MV Act, you being an owner as per the record, may face the legal consequences arising out to that accident or violation. So, to protect your interest and safety and to avoid all sorts of unwanted consequences, serving a legal notice to the Buyer, you need to write to the concerned RTO informing the date of sale of your old vehicle enclosing a copy of all the relevant documents you receive or possess in connection with the sale of vehicle. Reach out to the Office of RTO for further guidance and steps.
