Purchased by someone else – Here the name of the buyer has to be added in the registration certificate (RC). This has to also be done to remove the name of the previous owner.
In case of death of owner – This is when the death of the owner has taken place and within 30 days the legal heir can get his name registered. This also has a clause where the legal heir can use the maximum period of 3 months.
During an Auction – This is where the new owner will replace the old owner in the RC. It is quite similar to what is done in the first one but the documents are different.
