A.Dear Client,
There are statutory forms to be signed both by the ex-owner and the present owner to process the transfer of ownership of the vehicle and change of address in the Certificate of Registration(RC). As per the mandatory provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and M VRules, 1989, once a vehicle is sold, the purchaser has to submit statutory forms(Form 29. Form 30) 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 post-sale if the running vehicle is used by the Buyer/New owner without transferring ownership of the vehicle and in case the vehicle meets with an accident, theft, or any other violation of the MV Act, you being an owner of the vehicle 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, you need to write to the concerned RTO ASAP informing the date of sale of your old vehicle and enclosing a copy of all the relevant documents you receive or possess in connection with the sale of the vehicle. This step may protect you from unwanted consequences if arises from your sold vehicle. Reach out to the Office of RTO for further guidance and steps.

A.Dear Client,
In case the new vehicle owner has not transferred the title in his name, you can file a complaint to the Transport Commissioner of your State and to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) by sending an email and detailing them about your grievance. The officials would take appropriate action by blacklisting or forfeiting the car. They may also direct the new owner to transfer the title in his name at the earliest.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.
