How to Complete FORM 28 for Application and Grant of No Objection Certificate (NOC)

Obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a motor vehicle can be crucial for those looking to transfer their vehicle to another jurisdiction or sell it. FORM 28 is designed to facilitate this process. This guide aims to help individuals who may be unfamiliar with the complexities involved in applying for an NOC, ensuring they can navigate the process efficiently and correctly.

Understanding FORM 28

FORM 28 is used for the application and issuance of a No Objection Certificate, which is necessary when transferring a vehicle across different jurisdictional areas of the Registering Authorities or when selling a vehicle. This certificate ensures that there are no pending taxes, theft cases, or legal prohibitions that would prevent the vehicle's transfer or sale.

Step-by-Step Guide to Completing FORM 28

Identify the Relevant Registering Authorities:

• Write the name and address of the current Registering Authority and the one to which the vehicle will be transferred or where the buyer resides.

Applicant Details:

• Fill in your name, address, and relationship status as the current vehicle owner.

Vehicle Details:

• Provide comprehensive details about the vehicle including registration number, class of vehicle, engine number, chassis number (with pencil print), and any other relevant particulars.

Financial and Legal Status:

• Declare any pending motor vehicle taxes, involvement in theft or criminal cases, and any action pending under the Motor Vehicles Act that could affect the transfer.
• If the vehicle is held under a hire-purchase, lease, or hypothecation agreement, provide details of the financier.

Declaration and Consent:

• Sign the form to declare all information provided is accurate.
• Obtain the financier’s consent if the vehicle is under a financial agreement, specifying whether they agree to issue the NOC.

Submission:

• Submit the form in quadruplicate if under a financial agreement, or in duplicate otherwise. Ensure that the correct number of copies are sent to all necessary parties including the financier and both Registering Authorities.

Official Endorsement:

• The Registering Authority will either grant or refuse the NOC based on the details provided and legal checks performed.

Tips for a Smooth NOC Application Process

• Ensure all information is accurately filled to avoid delays.
• Verify that there are no outstanding legal issues or dues that can impede the issuance of the NOC.
