The loan was disclosed to you or not?? Because after adding up it seems that you have to pay way beyond the price.

The owner must settle the loan and then sell the car to you. If not file a case under sections 406 and 420 of the IPC.

1. You did a great mistake by not getting NOC from bank or financial where the car is hypotheticated to.

Now the seller may vanish with the money leaving the creditor to recover loan amount by attaching your car and selling it.

So get in touch with the seller and get the proof of release of loan asap.

Then get your name registered with the Motor Vehicles Authority.

Hello, 

Please elaborate your query

from the facts as told by you, it is advised that you do not purchase a vehicle which has a loan attached to it. Ask him to pay the loan, take NOC and then get the RC transferred to your name.

You need to inquire the same first before buying the car. Now you can send him legal notice to clear the same and if not adhered file cheating complaint as well as suit against him to clear the loan

You should have arrived at an agreement in this regard properly before paying him.

However you can issue a legal notice to him to settle all his dues and transfer the vehicle to you as per law.

The RC cannot be transferred to a new buyer until and unless the Hypothication stamp is removed. ask seller to pay loan and settle and obtain NOC from bank, if seller refuse You can send him a legal notice through an advocate and file suit for recovery.
