RTO Form 28: Application for Grant of No Objection Certificate

Applicants fill up RTO form 28 when they require a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the registering Authority. It helps in establishing that the automobile does not have any legal liabilities which can prevent its sale. The RTO also takes into consideration that there are no pending taxes, challans, or FIRs against the four-wheeler. If you wish to sell your vehicle, then you require three copies of RTO Form 28. The Registering Authority sends these copies along with the endorsement to the lawful owner, Financier, and the next Registering Authority through registered post with acknowledgement due condition.
