In preparation for the shifting of residence from Surat to Pune, I visited the Surat RTO to obtain an NOC for my car which I planned to take to Pune. I decided on carrying out the work on my own without engaging an agent. Following the submission of the application one is required to obtain a clearance certificate from the Crime Branch evidencing that there are no lookout notices or cases pending against the owner/registered vehicle. The last step in the process required immense patience on my part as I had to visit at least 5 desks at the RTO, 2 of them for 4 times each before the NOC was given in my hands. The process from start to finish called for 4 visits of which 2 were to the RTO and 2 to the Crime Branch Office, and mission accomplished in one week.
I made no payment to any individual to facilitate the process. Agents the bane of any RTO were in plenty and some curious to learn why I set out to do the job on my own. Friends informed me that several thousands are demanded to obtain a NOC and there are several pitfalls which only an agent can navigate through.
This time round all Doom Sayers were proved wrong.
