There are two ways to finance a new vehicle. You can either pay the total amount out of your pocket or take a bike or car loan. Many people choose the latter as they may not have enough liquidity to buy the vehicle with cash or may want to avoid a substantial one-time outflow that creates a dent in their savings.
A loan is, therefore, a common way out. When you take a vehicle loan, you borrow money from the lender and use it to buy the vehicle. However, even though the vehicle stays with you, it can be taken by the lender anytime. It is the collateral for your vehicle loan, which means until you pay back your loans, the vehicle's ownership remains with the lender. But how does this process work, and how can you claim the ownership once the loan is completely paid? Let's learn.
Hypothecation is the process wherein you pledge the ownership of your vehicle to the lender. Once you take a vehicle loan, the hypothecation request is submitted to the regional transport officer with the loan details. Even though the vehicle's ownership remains with the lender, your name and address are mentioned in the vehicle's RC book. It means you will be legally liable for everything related to the vehicle.
Hypothecation is added to the RC when you buy your vehicle using a loan. You will need to submit your identity and address proofs and the loan details. The process becomes easier when you avail of the loan from a reputed lender, like IDFC FIRST Bank. IDFC FIRST Bank's digital approach makes the process swift and hassle-free, allowing you to avail of a loan online and offline.

Your insurance policy will, by default, collect information from your vehicle's RC book and mark hypothecation to your insurance policy. When you try to renew your policy, you will be asked for the same details and a copy of the RC book.
Hence, hypothecation merely provides the lender with the right to claim custody of the vehicle if you fail to repay the loan amount.
Once you have completely paid your loan off, you should get the hypothecation removed. You cannot sell your vehicle without removing it. Follow the below steps to remove hypothecation:
You must ensure that your loan is fully paid. Once all the dues are paid, the lender will issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC). If the lender does not issue the NOC by default, you can ask them for the same.
Next, you need to apply to the RTO for the cancellation of hypothecation. You will need the following documents:
Once the above documents are ready, you can formally apply to the RTO. You will also need to pay a fee for the procedure. Once that is done, the RTO will process your request, and if things are in place, the hypothecation will be cancelled.
After the request submission, you have the provision to check the status of your request. You can do the same from the Parivahan web portal, a national service portal. Once the application is processed, you will receive a new RC book with the hypothecation removed.
Removing your vehicle's hypothecation once your loan is fully paid is essential to avoid hiccups in selling the vehicle. It is also necessary for the validity of your insurance.
