How to Obtain a NOC from an RTO: A Step-by-Step Guide

According to the Motor Vehicle Act, if a car owner wants to relocate or sell their vehicle to a person residing in a different state, they must first obtain a NOC. This NOC is issued from the local RTO where your car is registered.

The NOC ensures that a vehicle's registration is free of the jurisdiction in which it was initially registered and can be registered at any RTO in the country. The NOC also proves that all debts, including taxes, challans, and other responsibilities, have been paid.

Many vehicle owners overlook obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the RTO while relocating from one state to another. Of course, you won't need this paperwork if you don't expect to stay in the new location for a long time, but if you do, you'll need to transfer your vehicle's registration from one state to another. In general, if you want to drive your automobile for less than three months in a new state or union territory, you do not need to transfer the vehicle's registration to the new RTO.

The vehicle owner must follow the given steps to obtain a NOC from the RTO:

• To apply for the NOC, the vehicle owner must go to the local RTO in person.
• Personalize your NOC application by going to your local RTO and submitting it.
• Then, along with the required documents, submit a properly filled-out CMV 38 form.
• As a fee for the NOC application, you must pay INR 100 to the RTO.
• The transport office will request a vehicle report from the local police authority after receiving the NOC application to confirm that the vehicle has not been implicated in any criminal cases.
• If the RTO determines that no outstanding dues or DSL cases are attached to the vehicle, the No Objection Certificate is issued with a receipt for clearance.

Please keep in mind that the RTO may take up to three working days to provide the No Objection Certificate after receiving the required papers.

Validity of NOC

A No Objection Certificate is valid for a maximum of 6 (six) months. Within six months of receiving the certificate, the car must be re-registered in the new jurisdiction RTO. The document will become invalid if it is not re-registered within that suggested period. The buyer, too, must obtain a NOC from the RTO in their jurisdiction and register the vehicle under it before the six-month time runs out.

A NOC from the RTO is also necessary when transferring a vehicle's registration from one RTO to another and when a new owner is required to register the vehicle at an RTO near his home. Interstate car transfers are, in fact, a little more complicated. As a result, getting a NOC from the RTO before selling a car to someone who plans to transfer ownership to another state pays off.
