Advice

Have you ever sold a car and signed a blank transfer form — did you know it could stay in your name for months and even end up as a terror tool, just like in the Parliament attack of 2001?
RCs often remain in the seller’s name while vehicles pass through multiple hands. If that car is in an accident, you may still be liable. Worse, it can be misused in crime — even terrorism — while the records still show you as the owner.
Other countries have solved this problem with simple processes. India’s draft rules of 2022 offered a clear solution: dealer authorisation, digital delivery intimation, and deemed ownership during possession. Yet three years later, these reforms remain unnotified.
