What is RTO Form 30 for Transfer of Vehicle Ownership?

The form also helps update the change of ownership in the RTO's vehicle records. Form 30 is prescribed under Rule 55 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. Since it is a central form, it is used across India and is not state-specific, although some states may publish it in regional languages.

When is Form 30 Required?

Form 30 is used only when the ownership of an already registered vehicle changes. It does not apply to a new vehicle purchased from a showroom, as the first registration is made directly in the buyer's name. Form 30 is also not used when the ownership changes due to the death of the registered owner or the purchase of a vehicle through a public auction. In such cases, Form 31 and Form 32 are used, respectively.

The table below shows some common vehicle ownership transfer situations where Form 30 is required.

What is the Time Limit for Submitting Form 30?

The vehicle ownership transfer application (Form 29 and Form 30) should be submitted within the prescribed timelines under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

• For ownership transfer within the same state, Form 29 and Form 30 should be submitted within 14 days from the date of transfer.
• For ownership transfer to another state, Form 29 and Form 30 should be submitted within 45 days from the date of transfer.

What Is the Difference Between Form 29 and Form 30 for Vehicle Ownership Transfer?

Transferring the ownership of a registered vehicle requires both Form 29 and Form 30. Although they are submitted together, each form serves a different purpose.

What Information Does RTO Form 30 Contain?

Form 30 has four sections. They are meant to be completed by the seller, buyer, financier (if the vehicle is under a loan), and the RTO.

Part I – Seller's Details (Transferor's Details)

In the seller's section of Form 30, the seller has to provide their personal details, such as their name, father's/husband's name, and address, along with the vehicle registration number, date of sale, and the buyer's name and address.

By signing Form 30, the seller declares that:

• The RC and insurance certificate have been handed over to the buyer.
• The vehicle registration has not been suspended or cancelled.
• The required No Objection Certificate (NOC) has been attached, where applicable.

If the NOC has not been issued, the required declaration should be submitted along with the supporting documents. Any details or declarations that are not applicable can be struck out before submitting the form.

Part II – Buyer's Details (Transferee's Details)

In the buyer's section of Form 30, the buyer has to provide their personal details, nominee details, date of purchase, vehicle registration number, and the seller's name and address.

By signing Form 30, the buyer:

• Requests the RTO to transfer the vehicle's ownership into their name.
• Confirms that the insurance certificate has been handed over.
• Declares that the information provided in the application is true.
• Declares that the vehicle is free from all encumbrances.

Financier's Consent (If Financed)

This section applies if the vehicle is financed through a vehicle loan, such as a used car loan or used two-wheeler loan.

In the financier's section, the bank or other financier has to provide its basic details, such as its name and address. By signing this section, the financier gives its consent to the ownership transfer and confirms its financing agreement with the buyer.

RTO Section (To Be Filled by the RTO)

This section is completed by the RTO. The RTO verifies the application and supporting documents before processing the ownership transfer. If approved, the vehicle ownership is updated in the buyer's name. If additional information or documents are required, the RTO may ask the applicant to provide them before processing the application.

The exact list may also vary by state. Below are the documents commonly required for both within-state and inter-state vehicle ownership transfers.

Final Thoughts

Form 30 is the buyer's request to the RTO to transfer the vehicle's Registration Certificate (RC) into their name, while Form 29 records the seller's intimation that the vehicle has been sold. Since both forms work together, the information provided in them should always match. If the vehicle is financed through a pre-owned car loan or used two-wheeler loan, remember that the financier's consent also forms an important part of the ownership transfer process.
