Section 40 (MVA 1988) – Registration, where to be made

Motor Vehicles Act , 1988

Section 40 – Registration, where to be made ([India Code][1])

🔹 Short Note (Hindi)

Section 40 batata hai ki vehicle ka registration kis RTO (Regional Transport Office) me hona chahiye. Generally, registration us area ke RTO me hota hai jaha owner rehta hai ya vehicle permanently use hona hai.

🔹 Detailed Explanation (English + Hindi)

Section 40 clarifies jurisdiction for vehicle registration.
Gaadi ka registration usi authority ke paas karwana hota hai jo us region me authorized hai jaha:

• Owner permanently rehta ho
• Vehicle generally use hona ho
• Business owner ka central office ho (commercial cases mein)

Agar vehicle dusre state ya district me register karwana ho to special permission ya No Objection Certificate (NOC) ki zarurat hoti hai.

🔹 Main Conditions

1. Local RTO Registration
   • Vehicle ka registration owner ke residence ya business location ke RTO me hota hai.
2. Authority Matters
   • Sirf authorised registering authority hi RC issue kar sakti hai.
3. Out-of-State Registration
   • Agar state ya district change hai, toh NOC compulsory hai.
4. Temporary vs Permanent Address
   • Temporary stay ke liye temporary registration apply kiya ja sakta hai.
5. Proof Required
   • Address proof aur identity proof mandatory documents hote hain.

🔹 Legal Meaning (Simple Terms)

Gaadi aap kisi bhi RTO me register nahi kara sakte.
Aapko wahi register karwana padega jaha aap actually rehte ho ya vehicle use hone wala ho.

🔹 Example

Riya Delhi me rehti hai, par usne Mumbai ke RTO me permanent residence proof ke bina registration apply kiya. Application reject ho gaya kyunki Section 40 ke hisaab se registration owner ke actual residence jurisdiction me hi hota hai.

🔹 Key Legal Points

• Registration location fixed hota hai by law
• RTO jurisdiction important hai
• NOC required for different state/district
• Residential or business address proof mandatory
• Wrong jurisdiction application reject ho sakta hai

🔹 Nyay Neeti Advice

Gaadi register karte waqt galat RTO mat choose karo.
Jaha aap rehte ho ya jaha gaadi use hone wali hai, wahi se RC issue karwana safe aur legal hota hai.
