A. Dear Client,
With regards to the rights of the bank and approach to RTO, you have taken loan on a car’s purchase and the hold holds a legal right over the vehicle and the entry is made in the certificate of registration . In case of failure of repayment of loan, the bank might enforce its rights over the vehicle.

A. Dear Client,
A mortgaged property cannot be a subject matter of any contract or transaction until and unless the mortgagee(Bank) issues an NOC or Release Deed to the Mortgagor(Lessor). Mortgagee(Bank) has the first charge on the property.
