How to Fill Form 29 for Car Ownership Transfer Step by Step?

The official name of Form 29 is "Notice of Transfer of Ownership of a Motor Vehicle." RTO Form 29 applies to a normal sale of an already registered vehicle, regardless of:

• Whether the vehicle was bought with a pre-owned car loan or without a loan
• Whether the transfer is within the same state or to another state
• Whether the vehicle is a car, two-wheeler, or another type of registered motor vehicle

When Should You Submit RTO Form 29 After the Vehicle Sale?

If you are selling a vehicle within the same state, you need to report the transfer to the RTO within 14 days of the sale. If the vehicle is being transferred to a person in another state, the timeline for submission is 45 days. Along with Form 29 and 30, other forms, documents and an NOC, if required for the interstate transfer, need to be submitted.

Note: Here, "same state" or "another state" refers to the state where the vehicle will be registered after the transfer, not just the state where the buyer lives.

How to Fill RTO Form 29?

RTO Form 29 has two sections. The first section is filled by the seller, while the second section is meant for the RTO where the form is submitted. The form is addressed to the RTO where the buyer resides, and a copy is sent to the RTO where the seller resides.

The details to be filled in RTO Form 29 by the seller include:

• Enter the RTO where the buyer (transferee) resides.
• Enter your name and address. If the vehicle is jointly owned, include the names of the joint owners as shown in the vehicle records.
• Enter the date on which the vehicle was sold and delivered to the buyer.
• Enter the vehicle details. These include the registration number, make, chassis number and engine number. For an electric vehicle, enter the motor number instead of the engine number.
• Enter the buyer's details. Include the buyer's name and full address.
• Enter the financing details, if applicable. If you bought the vehicle through a pre-owned car loan or it is under a hire-purchase, lease, or hypothecation agreement, enter the financier's details.
• Get the financier's consent, where applicable. If the vehicle has an active vehicle loan, it must be cleared first, and a Form 35 must accompany the submission.
• By signing the form, you confirm that the RC and Insurance Certificate have been handed over to the buyer. You also confirm that the vehicle has no pending claim or legal issue, is not under superdari, and that the information you have provided is correct.
• After filling and signing the form, add the buyer's name in the transferee section and mention the RTO where you reside.

Once you submit Form 29, the RTO verifies the details along with Form 30 submitted by the buyer and the other required documents. If the details and documents are correct, the RTO updates the vehicle records with the new owner's details.

Can You Submit RTO Form 29 Online?

Does Submitting Form 29 Mean Your Work is Done?

No. Form 29 is your intimation to the RTO about the sale. The buyer still needs to complete their part of the ownership transfer process. The RTO then verifies the details and documents submitted by both sides. If the details are correct, the new owner's name is recorded in the RC. Once the new owner's name is recorded in the RC, you are no longer the registered owner of the vehicle and are free from future legal responsibilities as its registered owner.

You can also check the application status through the available VAHAN services to track the progress of the ownership transfer.

What is RTO Form 30 for Vehicle Ownership Transfer?

Form 30 is the application used by the buyer to request the transfer of the vehicle's ownership to their name. It is submitted as part of the ownership transfer process after the seller gives notice of the sale through Form 29.

Final Thoughts

Complete the vehicle ownership transfer as early as possible after selling the vehicle. If the vehicle is still recorded in your name when an issue arises after the sale, you may have to deal with notices, charges or other issues related to the vehicle. Completing the transfer promptly helps keep the vehicle records updated and avoids unnecessary complications later.
