Find more details below.

However, there are different factors that you must know while you transfer your vehicle registration from one state to another. For instance, the registration charges and the road taxes vary from state to state. Hence, you may be entitled for a refund if the charges paid by you in your current state of residence are more than what you are supposed to pay in the state you are moving to. Or you may need to pay in excess to what you have already paid. Whatever be the case, it is pertinent to know how to go about the whole process and get the inter-state registration done.

Getting an NOC if You Have Purchased Your Vehicle on Loan

If your two-wheeler is funded by a lending institution or a bank, you will additionally need a state transfer NOC from the bank. To do so, you must submit an application to the relevant bank together with supporting papers such as address proof, a letter of employment transfer (offer letter/appointment letter), and others as specified by the bank. The bank will next process your request, and the credit and finance department will perform the necessary verification before issuing you a letter of consent or a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

Step  1 - Obtain an NOC From the RTO Where Your Vehicle Is Registered

Taking the previous example, if you are moving from New Delhi to Bangalore, you will be required to submit Form 27 and Form 28 to the local RTO along with the photocopies of the NOC obtained from the bank and other vehicle-related documents such as:

1. Registration Certificate (RC) of the vehicle
2. Car Insurance or Bike Insurance paper
3. Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate/ Emission Test Certificate
4. Genuine chassis imprint of the vehicle
5. 3-4 photocopies of Form 28
6. Application requesting NOC for interstate transfer.

To speed up the whole process, you may also submit an NOC from the police as in some cases, the RTO may give you a clearance form to get attested by the police department of your city. Also, you may need to submit an NOC from the traffic police stating that there are no dues to be paid from your end for any traffic violations.

4. The copy of RC with previous registration number.
5. Insurance policy document with the new vehicle registration number.
6. Proof of address and photo ID.

Upon receiving the CRTI from Bhopal RTO authorities, they will process your refund application. The whole process may take up to 6 months.
