can i ride my bike in other state without noc

Many riders often ask, “Can I take my bike to another state without getting an NOC?” It’s a common question, especially for those traveling across states in India. Let me explain everything in simple terms.

What is an NOC and Why Do You Need It?

An NOC (No Objection Certificate) is a document issued by the RTO (Regional Transport Office). It proves that there are no dues, such as unpaid taxes or legal issues, related to your bike.

You’ll need this document if you’re moving your bike to another state for a long time. Without an NOC, you might face:

  • Trouble re-registering your bike in the new state.
  • Fines during police or transport checks.
  • Legal problems if your bike is flagged for not having an NOC.

When You Don’t Need an NOC

If you’re traveling to another state for a short time (up to 12 months), you don’t need an NOC. As per Indian laws, you can ride your bike anywhere in the country for up to a year without re-registering it.

Just make sure that you have:

  1. A valid registration certificate.
  2. Insurance papers.
  3. A valid PUC (Pollution Under Control) certificate.

When You Need an NOC

An NOC is required in these situations:

  1. Permanent Relocation:
    For example, if you’re moving from Mumbai to Bangalore for work or studies.
  2. Re-Registration After 12 Months:
    If you stay in the new state for more than 12 months, you’ll need to re-register your bike. An NOC is necessary for this process.
  3. Transferring Ownership:
    If you’re selling or giving your bike to someone in another state, an NOC is mandatory.

Steps to Get an NOC for Your Bike

Here’s how you can get an NOC:

  1. Visit the RTO where your bike is registered.
  2. Fill out Form 28 (application for NOC).
  3. Submit documents like:
    • Insurance papers.
    • PUC certificate.
    • Address proof.
  4. Clear any pending taxes or fines.
  5. Pay the NOC fee.

After approval, the RTO will issue the NOC. For more details, you can check our RTO services guide.
