Are you looking to scrap your vehicle
Select your vehicle category to get started
When selling or scrapping your vehicle, the Registration Certificate (RC) is crucial as it serves as proof of registration with the Regional Transport Office (RTO). However, if you don’t have the RC or if it’s not in your name, there are other ways to proceed. This guide will explain the steps and alternative documents required for a hassle-free process.
1. What is an RC (Registration Certificate)?
The RC is an official document issued by the RTO that verifies your vehicle's registration, containing details like:
- Owner's information
- Vehicle model and specifications
- Engine and chassis number
- Registration date and validity period
It's essential for selling, transferring, or scrapping a vehicle. If it's missing or not in your name, there are alternatives.
2. Alternatives If You Don’t Have an RC
If the RC is unavailable, you can provide:
- Insurance Copy: The vehicle’s valid insurance policy document.
- Road Tax Receipt: The receipt showing road tax payment.
- Purchase Bill: The original invoice or bill of purchase.
- Emission Certificate (PUC): Proof of compliance with emission standards.
3. If the RC is Lost: Documents You Need
If the RC is lost, you must provide either:
- FIR Copy: A police report confirming the RC is missing, needed for legal processes.
- Xerox Copy of the RC: If available, a photocopy of the original RC as additional proof.
4. If the RC is Under Another Person’s Name
If the RC is still under the previous owner’s name, additional documents are required:
- Form 29 and Form 30: RTO forms used for ownership transfer.
- Transfer of Ownership (TO) Form: An RTO-issued form for processing the transfer.
- Sale Deed or Agreement: A legal document confirming the sale of the vehicle.
- Affidavit: A signed statement from the current owner confirming the transfer of ownership.
5. If No RC or Other Documents Are Available
If none of the above documents are available, you can proceed by providing:
- ID Proof of the Owner: An ID like an Aadhaar card, passport, or driver’s license of the current owner.
- ID Proof of the Selling Person: If you’re selling on someone’s behalf, your ID proof is required.
- Declaration or Undertaking: A formal declaration from the owner with vehicle details and intent to sell.
