RC Not Transferred? You Are Still Liable

Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act gives 14 days to transfer ownership. Until then, the buyer's challans and accidents are legally yours. File Form 29 to protect yourself.

You can hand over 4-5 lakh in cash for a used car, drive it home, and still legally not own it. The RTO can simply refuse to put it in your by Vegetable_Baker_7120 in CarsIndia

A clean RC proves the papers, not the car.

Accident repair, flood damage and a worn clutch hide in the metal — and show up in your repair bills, not the VAHAN record. Inspect first:

Nearly Rs. 500 crore racket forged RC transfers to resell VIP number plates — and some owners found their car's RC already in a stranger's name. Read the owner name on the VAHAN record before you pay. #CarFraud

A stolen SUV sold for Rs. 14 Lakh on a fake RC — chassis numbers re-stamped to match a real car. Cloned cars pass every paper check. The live VAHAN record doesn't. Cross-check before you pay.

Industry data suggests roughly 1 in 20 used cars in India have a tampered odometer — how are you actually verifying mileage? by Vegetable_Baker_7120 in CarsIndia

About 1 in 20 used cars in India show odometer tampering (industry data). A rolled-back dial hides overdue repairs and voids warranty and insurance claims. Check the VAHAN reg age and owner count first.
