Process to Re-register a Two-Wheeler in India

It is known that every bike must be tied to its driver in some fashion for several reasons. First, due to this requirement, a two-wheeler bike registration is needed by a government agency to travel on Indian roadways lawfully. This completes the ownership of the bike by linking it to a specific owner, location, and financial backer. When a motorcycle is first bought, it needs to be registered. Because road safety is a major consideration in this process, guaranteeing that the bike is roadworthy is essential. The bike's number plate will be issued once the registration is completed.

Because a vehicle's lifespan is quite short, two-wheeler bike registration after 15 years is mandatory. The bike will only be road legal once it has been determined to be safe for the roads. All facts are verified before re-registration of a vehicle, including taxes, insurance, etc. As your two-wheeler is passing the 15-year mark, the re-registration process must be completed.

Follow the steps given for the re-registration process for a bike. These steps include;

• Getting A NOC

On ₹10 stamp paper, a self-declaration affidavit must be filed. It should be verified by a Notary who certifies that all vehicle-related paperwork is authentic and that the bike has no outstanding debts. The NCRB (National Crime Record Bureau) must provide a NOC certifying that the bike is not stolen. If the bike has an ongoing loan, a letter of authorisation from the bank has to be included in the given Form 35. To obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the nearest RTO, the candidate must provide three duly completed copies of Form 27 and 28 and No Objection Certificates from the NCRB, the Traffic Officers, and the financial backer. The following documents must be submitted: Address proof, Smart Card copy, bike insurance policy, identity evidence, Chassis imprint copy, and Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate. You must also submit the original payment receipt of your bike.

• Re-registering your Bike and Settling the Road Tax

You can ask for a new certificate of registration and pay the necessary road tax when you have all of the required documentation and have moved your bike to a different state if you need to. The documentation listed below must be presented to the RTO.

• The bike owner must first get Form 25 and properly fill out the application. It must then be submitted to your jurisdiction's Regional Transport Office (RTO).
• When filing to the RTO in your area, including the documentation mentioned above and Form 25.
• The RTO will inspect the Two-Wheeler.
• If you have any outstanding road taxes, you must pay them right away.
• The owner must pay the RTO the amount for re-registering their two-wheeler.
• A new registration certificate will be provided if your two-wheeler satisfies the inspection test.
• If you're relocating to a new location, you'll need to settle road tax per the new state's requirements before getting your registration or a refund if the tax is cheaper. You'll need the two-original wheeler's invoice for this. The tax will be determined by the current depreciation worth of your two-wheeler.
• You can ask for a tax refund once the bike is registered.

If you wish to opt for re-registration of a vehicle after 15 years online, that may not be a possibility in your state. Most states ask the vehicle owner to physically visit the RTO office to present the necessary documents physically. If all your documents are in place, things should move smoothly in your favour. Remember, you cannot complete the process unless you have your bike insurance policy. So ensure you have active insurance for your bike when applying for re-registration of your bike.
