Buying a Used Car Before Diwali? Unpaid Tolls Can Now Block Your NOC

Challan checking before you buy a used car is becoming increasingly important as they could affect your NOC for not clearing toll fees. Using MyMotor makes it easy.

Why Diwali is a popular time to purchase a used car in India.

Many Indian families consider Dhanteras and Diwali a lucky time to bring home a new vehicle. This means many used cars are sold during this time with extra festive deals. However, people often forget to check for any paperwork. This can lead to issues when they find out their used car has dues.

What does the new toll rule mean?

With the Central Motor Vehicles (Second Amendment) Rules, 2026, you cannot receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for transferring or relocating a vehicle if you have not paid any national highway user charges. This means that if the seller has any toll fees to pay, you will have issues transferring or moving to a different state.
