Anonymous Hi, i have taken a car from the owner,the deal was closed in hurry and i had paid the enire amount through cash. Now when i check the papers i suspected something so checked through messaging to 56006 the onner name and details. Felt relaxed till tomorow , so that i can go to RTO and get the formality done. Actually it was transferred to the Yeshwantpur RTO KA-04 but the RTO records were still not updated. Initially I too thought that the vehicle had not been transferred. Even now a fine on the bike may appear in my name. Try contacting the person and find out if he has done the transfer. The RC cannot be cancelled.

And I need to produce new chassis bill to RTO. But I dont have bill now as I changed my chassis 2 years back. Can anyone suggest on this? Hi everyone, I would be thankful if someone help me on this.

SCAM 52225 56006 RTO SMS SCAM This is a ripoff now. I dont know who owns the number. IT IS A SCAM - Instead of simply taking this number out SOMEONE is MAKING A LOT OF MONEY THROUGH A FRAUD as this service does not exist now. It used to work earlier, now the SERVICE HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN BUT IT STILL CHARGES YOU RUPEES 3 TO REPLY WITH GARBAGE. Anonymous I am trying to buy a car from the existing owner, but when I look up the details in BTIS, it does not return any matches for that number. I know that the car is currently on lease, so is it that Leased cars are not available on this system, or is it that there is some other issue with the car.
