Selling a car in India requires gathering and submitting various documents to ensure a smooth and legal transaction. Here’s a comprehensive list of documents needed to sell a car in India:
1. Registration Certificate (RC): The RC is the most crucial document, proving ownership and registration of the vehicle.
2. Transfer of Ownership Form (Form 29): This form is used to transfer ownership from the seller to the buyer.
3. No Objection Certificate (NOC): If the car is financed or has a hypothecation, obtain an NOC from the lender.
4. Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate: Ensure the vehicle has a valid PUC certificate.
5. Insurance Certificate: Provide proof of valid insurance coverage.
6. Road Tax Receipt: Show proof of paid road tax.
7. Address Proof: Seller’s address proof (Aadhaar, passport, etc.).
8. Identity Proof: Seller’s identity proof (PAN, driving license, etc.).
9. Form 30: Notification of transfer of ownership to the RTO.
10. Affidavit: An affidavit from the seller, stating the vehicle’s condition and any existing loans.
11. Sales Invoice: A detailed invoice with vehicle details, sale price, and payment terms.
12. RTO Endorsement: Obtain endorsement from the RTO on the RC and Form 29.
Gather all these documents and submit them to the RTO for transfer of ownership. Ensure all documents are in order, and the vehicle is in good condition to avoid any complications during the sale process.
Additionally, consider the following:
– Ensure all dues (taxes, fines, etc.) are cleared before selling.
– Notify the insurance company of the ownership transfer.
– Hand over the vehicle’s keys, manuals, and other accessories to the buyer.
By following this checklist, you’ll ensure a hassle-free car selling experience in India.
