Motor Vehicles Act , 1988

Section 49 – Change of residence or business address ([India Code][1])

🔹 Short Note (Hindi)

Section 49 kehta hai ki agar vehicle owner apna ghar ya business address change karta hai, toh usse RC (Registration Certificate) me address update karwana legally zaroori hai. Iske bina vehicle records incomplete ya invalid ho sakte hain.

🔹 Detailed Explanation (English + Hindi)

Section 49 ensure karta hai ki vehicle ke registration records hamesha updated ho. Agar koi owner apna:

• Residence address
• Business/work address

change karta hai, toh usse 30 din ke andar RTO ko inform karke address update karana hota hai.

Yeh rule legal notices, challan, tax, insurance aur verification purposes ke liye important hai. Agar vehicle dusri jagah shift ho gaya hai aur address RC me update nahi hai, toh challan, penalties ya delay ho sakta hai.
