Is an NOC Required?
No, you don't need an NOC just to transport a bike. You need one only when you re-register the bike in a new state, which is usually required after 12 months of living there.
Tip: Keep digital copies on DigiLocker or mParivahan. They are legally valid.
FAQs
No. NOC is not needed just to transport a bike. It is needed only when re-registering the bike in a new state, usually after 12 months of residence.
A self-attested copy of the RC is enough for transport. Keep the original with you.
