Ownership Tranfer of 4 Wheeler in Bangalore

Hi,

I recently bought a used car. Since brokers bribe the officials in RTO to get the job done, i wanted to do it myself.
I am jotting down my experience here so that it can help someone who wants to get the transfer done. The procedure is quite simple. Its just that we don't know it and are apprehensive about approaching Government office.
I bought the car which was registered in Yeshwanthpur (Bangalore North) RTO and i had to get it transferred to Jaynagar (Bangalore South) RTO.

Following is the procedure:

At Yeshwanthpur RTO:

1. You need to get the Hypothecation Cancellation and Clearance Certificate. For that you got to produce the following documents.

• Clearance Certificate or NOC from the original owner(You will get the all the required forms       docket from any of the shops in the RTO complex. In that set Clearance Certificate will be there).
• Form-35 in duplicate.
• Emmision Certificate.
• Insurance - Photo Copy.
• Authorization Letter (Some RTOs might not ask for it. But better to have it, in case if they ask for it. Authorization Letter will be there in the forms docket).
• Self Addressed Clothed Envelope. You need to put Rs. 12/- stamp on it. (This is required only if you are getting the transfer within the same RTO jursdiction. If the transfer is to another RTO, then you have to personally goto the RTO and collect the Clearance Certificate).                                       Note: All the above forms will be there in the docket. You just got to buy one from any of the shops in the RTO complex.

2. Get all these documents verified from the clerk. If all the documents are proper, he will ask you to pay Rs. 100/- towards Hypothecation Cancellation fee.

3. Submit all the documents along with the receipt of Hypothecation Cancellation fee in the designated counter.

4. You will get the Clearance Certificate after 10 days. (Either you have to go and collect it or it will come by post. Enquire it in the counter while submitting your forms).

Once you have Clearance Certificate in your hand, you are done with the first part.  Now, you have to contact the RTO to where you are seeking the transfer. In my case it was Jayanagar RTO.

At Jayanagar RTO:

1. You got to produce the following documents:

• Form 29 in duplicate (2 copies).
• Form 30, if your vehicle has Hypotecation or HPA or Lease coverage.
• Address Proof (Bank Passbook or BSNL Land Line bill or Voter ID will do. If you don't have any of these, you  have to get the affidavit done).
• Original RC book.
• Photo copy of the Insurance
• Photo copy of Emmision Certificate
• Clearance Certificate issued by the ealier RTO.
• Self addressed clothed envelope with Rs. 12/- stamp glued. (You will get this envelope in the xerox/stationary shops around RTO office)
• One or Two passport sized photograph.

2. Get all these documents verified by the clerk.

3. You will be asked to raise a receipt of a specific amount (in my case it was Rs. 400/-).

4. Go to the cash counter and raise that receipt.

5. Get all the documents along with the receipt with the verifier clerk. He/She will ask you to submit all the above documents along with the receipt at the specific counter.

6. Once you submit, you will be given an acknowledgement slip. Please preserve this slip for any further follow-ups.

7. You will get your new RC Book, having your name on it through post. If you do not get it by post, might have to go and collect it personally. The time period may vary from 10 days to 1 month.
