 +<WRAP info>
 +**Short version.** **Vehicle RC transfer** (Form 29/30), **inter-state NOC** (Form 28), **Hypothecation termination** (Form 35), **Address change** all flow through the **Regional Transport Office (RTO)** under **Motor Vehicles Act 1988** + **Central MV Rules 1989**. SLA: **30 days** typically. RTI to **PIO of issuing RTO** with **₹10 fee** legally forces a written reply within **30 days** under §7(1) RTI Act 2005.
