The Process To Apply For Bike NOC Online

Imagine this: You own a bike, which you use for your daily commute to work. The organisation you work for has decided to transfer you to a city in another state. While you are making arrangements for accommodation for yourself and your family, you are confused about your bike. Should you take the bike with you? Or should you sell it before you shift? Whatever your decision might be, both scenarios require a no-objection certificate (NOC). Let us first understand what an NOC is, and then we will learn how to apply NOC for two-wheeler online.  

What Is An NOC?

NOC, short for no-objection certificate, is a document used for legal purposes. When it comes to bikes, the NOC is issued generally issued by the regional transport office (RTO). The NOC states that the body issuing the certificate has no objection to the details that are mentioned on the certificate. If a bank is issuing the NOC, it is to cancel the hypothecation of your bike. The cancellation of hypothecation indicates that you have repaid the amount you borrowed from the bank and the ownership of the bike can be transferred in your name.

Which Are The Instances That Require An NOC?

You might require an NOC in the following situations:

1.    Moving to another state with your vehicle

Your job might require you to relocate to a new city. If your stay at the new location is going to be less than a year, there is no need to re-register your bike with the local RTO. However, if the stay shall exceed 1 year, you are required to re-register your bike with the new RTO. One of the documents required for this process is an NOC from the RTO where your bike was originally registered. The NOC is used as a declaration that there are no pending tickets or tax payments, and it can be registered with the new RTO.

2.    Looking to sell the bike

After using your bike for a good amount of time, you might plan on upgrading it with a newer model. You find a buyer and the deal is finalised. However, even if you sell the bike, the new owner would not be recognised as the legal owner of the bike until the ownership has been transferred to them. One of the documents required for this is the NOC. If there is hypothecation on your bike’s registration certificate, you are required to get NOC from your bank as well. If the repayment has been done, the bank will issue the NOC and the hypothecation will be deleted from your bike’s RC.
