08-May-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
Dear sir, I have sold my two-wheeler and we didn't go legal sale deed as the purchase party promised that he would get vehicle registration transferred from my name to his name with in a week. Its been already two years, I could see the vehicle is still registered on my name . I went and spoke to that guy , he still says it will be done in a week. I'm very much apprehensive that it may land me in trouble. Please advise - what legal actions can be taken in this case.
Hi
You should issue a legal notice to the buyer with a cc to Regional Transport authority and police station(where the buyer lives) to change the ownership of the vehicle.
Police station will seize the vehicle immediately as the buyer has not changed the ownership details in RTA Office.
Regional transport Authority is also empowered to seize the vehicle if police do not act.

You said there is no sale deed. I suggest you to firstly go an file a complaint before the concerned police station that your vehicle is lost and when an FIR is registered you take theh copy of the FIR and intimate the same to the RTO and the RTO will keep the number under block.

Legal Action for Not Transferring RC: When a vehicle is sold, it's crucial to complete the necessary paperwork to transfer ownership, including the Registration Certificate (RC). If the buyer fails to transfer the RC to their name, the seller can take the following legal actions:
a. Send a Formal Notice: The seller can send a formal notice to the buyer, requesting them to complete the transfer of ownership within a specified time frame. This notice can serve as evidence of the seller's intent to resolve the issue amicably.
b. File a Complaint with RTO: If the buyer continues to neglect the RC transfer, the seller can file a complaint with the Regional Transport Office (RTO) explaining the situation. The RTO can take action against the buyer, including fines or penalties.
c. Sale Deed and Acknowledgment: If there was a written sale agreement or a sale deed, the seller can use this as evidence of the transaction. It's essential to keep records of all communication and agreements.
d. Legal Action: As a last resort, the seller can consider taking legal action against the buyer for non-compliance with the sale agreement. Consulting with a legal expert is advisable in such cases. - Penalty for Not Transferring Ownership of the Car/Bike: The penalty for not transferring ownership can vary by state and is determined by the RTO. It may involve fines and even suspension of the vehicle's registration.
