Can an RC transfer be completed without the seller Aadhaar OTP?
Yes. If the seller refuses online OTP, you can submit physical signed copies of Form 29 and Form 30 alongside the Sale Agreement and payment receipts directly to the RTO counter.
Can I file a police complaint against a seller who refuses to complete RC transfer after taking money?
Yes. Refusing to transfer title after accepting full monetary consideration constitutes Criminal Breach of Trust (Section 406) and Cheating (Section 420 IPC / BNS equivalents).
