Bike Ownership Transfer: Procedure to Transfer

Bike Ownership Transfer: Procedure to Transfer

Buying a second-hand bike is quite common today, especially amongst first-time buyers. This is because such two-wheelers are available at relatively reasonable prices; while perfectly fulfilling the buyers’ mobility needs.

Besides, customers easily secure two-wheeler finance at affordable two-wheeler loan interest rates to cover their expenses. As a result, a large volume of second-hand bikes is sold and purchased in India every day.

When a used bike is sold, the seller must transfer its ownership to the buyer. It provides the new owner with all the legal possession rights of the two-wheeler.

Here’s a step-by-step bike ownership transferprocedure along with the documents required for the same.

Procedure to transfer bike ownership

The ownership transfer process requires the participation of the seller and the buyer. Broadly, it consists of the following three steps:

• Transfer application submission –

The applicant submits an application of transfer to the Regional Transport Office (RTO), where the bike was first registered. Typically, the seller carries out the application form submission in case of a sale. But, in a situation like an owner’s demise, the buyer or the individual to whom the bike is transferred must do it.

• Handing off the documents –

The seller must hand over all the necessary documents associated with the bike to the purchaser.

• Informing the RTO –

Finally, both the buyer and seller must inform the respective RTO about the transfer or sale of the two-wheeler within a designated time period. For out-of-state bike transfer, such info must be reported within 45 days. In the case of intra-state transfer, the stipulated period is two weeks.

  • Two passport-sized photographs
