How To Transfer Ownership Of Vehicle in Delhi

Overview

Delhi, the capital city of India, is among the largest car markets in the country. And as is the case almost everywhere else, the market for used cars in New Delhi is substantially larger than the new car market. This is not only due to the lower prices second-hand cars are sold at but also due to the lower rate of depreciation they experience. Hence, for many, it’s a wise move to pick up a used car instead of a new one but it’s often a tedious procedure to get the used car you’ve brought re-registered in your name.
