Do you know what is bike registration transfer process? Or what steps are involved and what bike transfer fee you must pay for the process?

You already know that a bike or car needs to be registered immediately after buying it to be able to drive without a hassle on the roads. The registration is required to be done at the RTO or Regional Transport Office. Once you register your two/four wheeler, you get a registration certificate (RC), which serves as a proof that you own the vehicle.

In future, you might need to transfer the registration if you plan to move the bike within the state or to move it from one state in India to another. This transfer process is called the process of RC transfer.
