Documents Required Before Making the Purchase

In order to obtain TVRC you will need all the vital documents related to the motorcycle including the registration certificate (RC), insurance certificate, PUC certificate, Form 28, 29, and 30, and others. Here are further details of the documents:

1. RC (Registration Certificate) Book- The RC Book, also referred to as the registration certificate, is a significant formal document that provides proof of the bike's registration. When the bike's ownership is changed at the RTO, this book is also required. Therefore, while buying a motorbike, the seller is required to give the RC book. Check and double-check the RC Book to make sure it has crucial details like the seller's name, the serial number of the engine, the chassis number, and other data. If a loan was used to purchase the motorbike, the document will bear a bank seal. To demonstrate that the loan has been repaid in full and there are no outstanding amounts, you will need a stamped Form 35 from the bank and an NOC letter from the bank.

2. Insurance Certificate- This document is an absolute need for every vehicle operating on Indian roads, according the most recent motor vehicle laws. If you don't have an insurance certificate, the RTO won't register your vehicle. Therefore, before concluding the deal, it is imperative to obtain the bike's insurance certificate from the vendor. You can acquire ownership of the property once you get the certificate by getting in touch with the insurance company.

3.PUC Certificate: According to the most recent motor vehicle regulations, this document is an absolute requirement for every vehicle operating on Indian roads. The RTO won't register your vehicle if you don't have an PUC certificate. Therefore, it is crucial to have the bike's insurance certificate from the vendor before finalizing the sale. Once you have the certificate, you can contact the insurance provider to take ownership of the property.

4. Sales Receipt: Another vital requisite is to procure the sales receipt with signature from the seller. It is mandatory to obtain the sales receipt from the vendor if you are buying the vehicle through a dealer. The sales receipt is the proof of the purchase of a vehicle at a dealership or a private sale. It contains the signature of both the seller and the buyer which confirms that the sale of the vehicle has been made with mutual agreement of both the parties. The receipt will show you the list of costs for add-ons, sales tax, and any excise taxes.

5. Road Tax Certificate: Before buying a used motorbike, you must get the road tax certificate from the seller. Road tax is frequently paid annually or once to the Regional Transport Office. The information on this card, which must be submitted to the RTO, relates to paying road taxes. The road tax certificate serves as proof that the seller has paid road tax on time and that there are no unpaid balances on the car. You can be asked to provide this document during routine inspections at traffic checkpoints. Additionally, you'll need this documentation if you ever decide to sell the vehicle or relocate across state lines.

6. Transfer Deed: Before buying a used motorbike, you must get the road tax certificate from the seller. Road tax is frequently paid annually or once to the Regional Transport Office. The information on this card, which must be submitted to the RTO, relates to paying road taxes. The road tax certificate serves as proof that the seller has paid road tax on time and that there are no unpaid balances on the car. You can be asked to provide this document during routine inspections at traffic checkpoints. Additionally, you'll need this documentation if you ever decide to sell the vehicle or relocate across state lines.

Forms to Submit to the RTO

Besides the important documents that are listed above, at the time of buying a two-wheeler you will have to submit the following forms to the RTO:

• Form 28: The No Objection Certificate (NOC) is what it is. The Seller shall execute and deliver three copies of this form. Only if you intend to take the car out of the state will it be necessary.
• Form 29: It is a motorcycle's Notice of Transfer of Ownership. This document informs the RTO of the motorcycle's sale. The Seller shall execute and deliver two copies of this form.
• Form 30: It is the Report of Transfer of Ownership of a motorcycle. It functions as the confirmation of Form 29. Two copies of this form are required to be submitted to the RTO.
