How to transfer vehicle from one state to another?

It is very easy to transport vehicle from one state to another. When we planned to move from Bangalore to Delhi, we opted for NoBroker. Their vehicle shifting service is easy to opt for and affordable. It cost me just around Rs 22,000 to get our Hatchback car transported. 

How to Move a Vehicle From One State to Another?

There are many ways on how to transport a vehicle from one state to another. You can

• Get your vehicle shifted through Indian Railway

• Via some Packers and Movers

• Via some local vehicles, like truck or tempo (as per the type of vehicle)

Now here is the thing. You can transport your vehicle via Indian railways but it is time-consuming and the booking processing is quite tricky. I also consulted with a few local truck transporters about my vehicle shifting, but their quote was too high. That is why I finally opted for packers and movers like NoBroker. They have good reviews and are affordable. 

Here is how you can get your vehicle transported via NoBroker:

• Go to

  NoBroker Packers and Movers portal

• Click on the Vehicle Shifting option

• Select the states (from where to where you want to transport the vehicle)

• Choose the date at your convenience 

• Tap on Proceed

• Select your vehicle type

• Click on Continue and you will be contacted by their official

You will be assigned a dedicated move manager, who ensures a hassle-free transportation of your vehicle. I would recommend you go for them.

When I was planning to relocate from Kolkata to Bangalore, I had no idea about how to move vehicle from one state to another. Though the process was cumbersome, I was successfully able to transport my car to Bangalore. The most important step in the process of transferring a vehicle's registration from one state to another is getting the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the RTO where the vehicle is currently registered and reregistering the vehicle in the new state.

How to Send Vehicle from One State to Another?

• I obtained an NOC from Kolkata RTO.

• Once I obtained the NOC, I submitted it to the local RTO (where the car was first registered) along with Forms 27 and 28. I was asked to submit the vehicle's Registration Certificate (RC), insurance records, a Pollution Under Control (PUC) check, the vehicle's chassis imprint, and the application to the bank to request an NOC.

It's crucial to keep in mind that the NOC required to transport a vehicle from one state to another has a deadline. Before the NOC expires, the vehicle transfer/car transfer procedure should be finished. You'll need to reapply for a more latest NOC after the expiration date.

• I made arrangements for my vehicle transfer through a carrier after receiving the NOC.

• Finally, after reaching Bangalore I had to apply for vehicle re-registration in Bangalore RTO. As a result, my DL number changed from WB to KA.

I must say that the latest RTO regulations must be followed at all times, as they can differ between states and change at any point.

Procedure of Transfer of Vehicle Registration from One State to another State

• Obtain No-Objection Certificate: The first thing you should do is procure the NOC from the RTO where the vehicle was originally registered. Make sure that the NOC has a clear imprint of chassis number.
• Take the vehicle to another state: After you get the NOC from your local RTO, you can take the vehicle to the state you will live.
• Visit the State RTO: Visit the RTO of the state in which you will live permanently. Do not forget to take all the required documents.
• Submit all the documents: You should verify all the documents before you submit to them.
• Fill Road-Tax Challan: The RTO of the new state will issue you a new challan for road-tax. Pay the requisite amount of fees.
• Vehicle Verification: In the presence of the RTO officer, get the vehicle inspected. The officer or his representative will take the imprint of the chassis number.
• Collect the Registration Certificate: After the verification is complete, you can confirm the date on which you can collect the RC for the new state.

Pro tip for NOC

• The NOC comes with an expiry date, so you are supposed to complete the re-registration procedure before the NOC becomes invalid.
• If your car/bike is bought with financial support from any bank or agency then you will also need a NOC from the supporting bank or agency.

List of Documents Required for Re-registration of Vehicle

• Previous Registration Certificate in original.
• Three copies of Form 28 or the NOC issued by the previous state’s RTO.
• Form 20 which is the application for the registration of the motor vehicle.
• Form 27 which is the application for the assignment of a new registration mark to the motor vehicle.
• Attested copy of address proof.
• Attested copy of valid insurance
• Attested copy of Pollution Under Control Certificate.
• Copy of PAN Card or Form 60 and 61.

To transfer your vehicle from one state on another you should keep the vehicle re-registered in the new state for more than a year. You need to clear your road and lifetime tax again and the amount should be calculated based on a vehicle's depreciation value.
