All states in India have their own RTOs or Regional Transport Offices, which enforce certain rules. These offices perform other functions related to vehicle registration, driving licenses, validating vehicle insurance, vehicular tax collections, and carrying out pollution checks. These Regional Transport Offices also have a crucial role when people sell their used cars. Without their verification, a sale is not considered to be legitimate.
A specific procedure must be strictly followed if you want to sell your used car. The most crucial part is filling and submitting certain forms needed for a successful sale. These forms are Form 29, Form 28, Form 35, and Form 30. These forms are available in all RTOs but can also be accessed online through the official website called Parivahan Sewa.

What is RTO Form 30?
- A person who wants to sell their used vehicle must fill up Form 30 after submitting Form 29 to the RTO.
- After reporting to the Regional Transport Office that the car has been sold to a purchaser, this form lets the office know that the ownership transfer should be done urgently.

- The seller should submit Form 30 to the RTO within two weeks of selling their vehicle. The seller requires two copies of this form to complete the sale.
Who should fill up the form?
