How to transfer car ownership (RC transfer) to a new owner in Karnataka

To transfer a used car's RC to a new owner within Karnataka, the seller files Form 29 and the buyer files Form 30 at the buyer's local RTO (or online via Parivahan), along with the original RC, valid insurance, a valid PUC certificate, and the buyer's ID and address proof. The law requires this within 30 days of the sale. Until the RC is in the buyer's name, the seller stays the legal owner on record — which is why finishing the transfer protects both sides.
