Old Vehicle Rules in Karnal (NCR)

Karnal is part of the Delhi-NCR, where diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years are barred from plying, under NGT / Supreme Court orders. Enforcement is being tightened in phases by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM): end-of-life vehicles are denied fuel at pumps — via ANPR cameras linked to the VAHAN database — in Delhi and five high-density NCR districts (Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddh Nagar and Sonipat) from 1 November 2025, extending to the rest of NCR, including Karnal, from 1 April 2026 (verify current status before publishing). Such vehicles must be de-registered, moved out of NCR with an NOC, or scrapped — so always check a used car's age and registration date before buying.

RC Transfer & Re-registration in Karnal

Used Vehicle Ownership Transfer

Transfer the RC of a used vehicle into your name within 30 days, using Form 29 and Form 30 signed by the seller, the original RC, insurance in the buyer's name, ID/address proof, PUC, and — if there was a loan — the financier's NOC.

RC Validity & Inter-state Relocation

A private vehicle's RC is valid for 15 years, after which it must be re-registered (Form 25 + fitness check) and renewed every 5 years. A vehicle relocating to Karnal from another state must re-register locally and pay any road-tax differential.
