To conduct the vehicle registration from one state to another, firstly, you need to get the car deregistered in the original place
Submit the RTO Form 28 to the original state’s RTO to apply for the NOC.
If you already intend to sell your car in the new state, the RTO Form 29 from the original RTO is required.
Hand in the NOC to the new RTO.
Pay the road tax adopted in the new state.
Get a new car registration number from the new RTO.
When all of the above steps have been completed, you can drive to the new state safely and freely. Even if your car has already been sold to another person who lives in another state, you can still drive home without any fear of fines by following the same procedure.
When you have obtained the NOC, its original copy needs to be submitted to the original RTO for the police to verify it. 5 weeks is usually the required time for the verified NOC to be attained. Once it has been verified, your car can be registered in the new state, which can take as much as six months.
Quite a few documents are required for the inter-state transfer of a vehicle's ownership
If you have not completed the paperwork but already moved to another state, you can follow a different process in some different scenarios.
If your NOC has been obtained but not yet to be transferred, you are required to have your NOC cancelled at the RTO with a small charge.
If the NOC has been attained from the original RTO, but the road tax has not been covered and you have driven the car in the new state, you will have to hand in the Non-migration certificate and pay a small penalty to the new RTO.
If you intend to sell your car which has been registered in the earlier state, you have to submit the NOC to the new RTO and pay road tax. If you skip any of the above, your car cannot be sold in the new state. After all the steps above have been completed, follow the same process and prepare all the required documents for a regular car.

If you intend to sell your car in a new state, you are likely to face difficulty in dealing a high price with the buyer since no one wants to address the paperwork themselves. The solution is to complete the transfer registration of your car before putting it on sale. Another one is to return to your earlier state to sell it.
