If you are an owner of a vehicle which more than 15 years old you should re-register your car, in other words, you should renew your registration. According to the Central Motors Vehicles Act, re-registration of vehicles after 15 years is mandatory, after that the vehicle’s RC should be renewed every five years as long as it is certified as a fit vehicle by the RTO. If a vehicle is transported to another state and driven there for more than a year the vehicle should also be Re-registered. Here I have given you the step-by-step process of car/vehicle re-registration

Steps for InterState Vehicle Transfer

The Interstate RC transfer or re-registration is a three-step process

1. Obtaining the No Objection Certifications (NOCs)

2. Arranging the Documents

3. Re-registration and road tax payment

For transferring a Car RC from one state to another state, two important factors will be taken into consideration. One the vehicle should not have financial hypothecation (Cars under loan), if it has any, the owner should get a No Objection Certification (NOC) from the financer for re-registration in a new state. Secondly, the car owner should pay the road tax on the depreciated value of the vehicle. You might receive a refund of some of the tax paid originally if the state you are transferring has a lower road tax.

Step 1: Obtaining A No Objection Certifications (NOCs)

· The owner should submit a self-declaration affidavit on a stamp paper (₹10) with the attestation of a Notary, declaring that all the documents submitted are genuine and no dues are pending against the vehicle.

The following documents are required for the re-registration of the vehicle in another state.

· Original Vehicle Documents such as Insurance document, Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate, and Smart RC Card.

· Original Invoice of the vehicle to calculate the depreciated value of the vehicle.
