Vehicle Ownership Transfer

It is imperative to transfer vehicle ownership immediately after its sale. While the vehicle ownership transfer or RC (Registration Certificate) transfer is of utmost importance, many sellers overlook this aspect owing to the time-consuming and tiring procedure for transfer of vehicle ownership. It may be noted that as per the rules, you continue to be treated as the owner of the car even after selling it off until the vehicle ownership transfer is acknowledged by the RTO. Luckily, selling your car through CARS24 takes this responsibility off your shoulders as we transfer car ownership on your behalf.
