You can obtain his address from the registration authority .. Rent agreement is sufficient for transfer ..

For registration of vehicle in your name NOC from seller is must

2) RTO Form Number 29, 30 are considered Sale Transfer Forms. This needs to be signed by both seller and buyer

3) further seller has to inform RTO of sale of car

4) in your case if seller is not cooperating sue the seller to recover your money

You need the sale transfer form signed by owner to transfer vehicle in your name

You would not be able to register vehicle in your name if you don't have the transfer forms filled in by the seller

Hello,

You will have to see whether the RTO Punjab accepts Rent agreement as valid document.

If the dealer has signature of seller on all the reuired documents then there is no need of physical presence of the seller.

NOC can be obtained without his presence.

If Rent Agreement is not accepted then you will have to get it registered in HP.

What is the problem you face now?

When you knew tht the vehicle could not be registered on your name without proper proof then how did buy the vehicle.

Do you have transfer order (TO) from the seller?

Do have the receipt for acknowledging the payment received towards the sale of this vehicle?

If the agent is not cooperating then you may either issue him a legal notice or can lodge a criminal complaint against him for cheating you by giving fake document hence not cooperating for the transfer of registration of the vehicle in your favor.

If the NOC alone is the problem for getting the vehicle transferred to your name you can make an indemnity bond and attache along with other documents seeking transfer of the vehicle indemnifying the issue, if the RTO officials do not encourage or accept the indemnity bond then you may have to revert to the situation of obtaining NOC from the owner thorough the agent
