Our documentation team handles Form 29/30 preparation, stamp paper, RTO submission, and Parivahan portal tracking. For sellers: You don't need to visit the RTO at all. BikeBro collects your signature on the required forms and manages everything else. For buyers: BikeBro provides a Transfer Acknowledgement Letter immediately after purchase, which serves as proof of ownership during the 30–45 day transfer period. Does the seller have to pay RC transfer fees in Maharashtra? Legally, the buyer is responsible for RC transfer fees in Maharashtra. However, in practice, most used bike transactions in Mumbai include RC transfer as part of the deal, with the seller paying if using a platform like BikeBro. What happens if RC transfer is not done after buying a bike? If RC is not transferred, the seller remains the legal owner and is liable for any traffic violations, accidents, or legal issues involving the vehicle. The buyer also cannot fully claim ownership. Transfer should always be completed promptly. Can I transfer RC without visiting the RTO in Maharashtra? Yes, through the Parivahan online portal. You can submit Form 29/30 and documents online, pay fees digitally, and get a slot for document verification (which may require one brief visit). BikeBro handles this entire process for both buyers and sellers.
