After the death of the owner of the first vehicle, the process of transferring it in the name of a family was complicated. There were different rules for this throughout the country. Now, according to the new rules, vehicle owners can declare a nominee only at the time of registration of vehicles.
For the registration of vehicles, now their owners will not have to make rounds of different offices to get the nominee’s name registered in the registration certificate. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has amended the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.
According to this, now people will get the facility to make a nominee while buying a car or bike. After making the nominee in the registration certificate, it will be registered or transferred in the name of the nominee after the death of the owner.
