NOC for Interstate Vehicle Transfer Explained

A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the registering RTO confirms that there are no pending dues, challans or legal issues against the vehicle. It is needed to re-register the vehicle in another state.

How it works

1. Apply for the NOC (Form 28) at your current RTO through the Vahan portal.
2. Clear any pending challans or taxes.
3. Collect the NOC and submit it at the new state's RTO along with the re-registration application.

Hypothecation Removal After Loan Closure

When a vehicle is bought on loan, the lender’s name is recorded on the RC as hypothecation. After the loan is closed, it should be removed.

Steps

1. Collect the NOC and Form 35 signed by the bank or financier.
2. Apply for hypothecation termination on the Vahan portal and pay the fee.
3. Submit documents at the RTO if asked; the updated RC is issued without the lender’s name.

• Valid insurance and PUC certificates
• Owner’s address proof
