RTO Form 21
A car sale certificate or Form 21 can be used to demonstrate that the original owner of the car sold it to someone else for money. As a result, it serves the parties to the transaction as both an invoice and a receipt. The seller might use the bill of sale to prove that they sold the car without a warranty and that the buyer gave them the entire payment in the hope of getting full ownership of the vehicle.
The car's price and date are also noted on the bill of sale. Both purchasers and sellers can use it to track when the vehicle's liability has changed and for tax purposes. The seller can prove that they no longer own the car and is thus not responsible if it violates traffic laws or gets in an accident. The receipt of sale can be used to prove ownership if the buyer needs to insure the vehicle.

How to Fill in RTO Form 21
A certificate of car sale is a binding legal document. If you're the buyer, thoroughly read it and look for any inconsistencies between the terms of the sale and what you've agreed to with the seller.
Pay great attention to the rules and legislation pertaining to payments, warranties, delivery, and exceptional situations. If the sale certificate explicitly states that the vehicle will be sold 'as-is,' signing the contract entails accepting a vehicle with either evident or undetectable defects. Additionally, it means allowing the vendor to decline to extend the warranty.
