Hypothecation Continuation

Keep Your Vehicle Loan Legally Updated in Your RC

If your vehicle is still under finance and the Registration Certificate (RC) is being renewed (especially after 15 years), it’s essential to continue the hypothecation in the RC. Failing to do this can result in legal complications and invalid documentation.

Friends RTO Consultancy offers a fast, reliable, and RTO-compliant Hypothecation Continuation service so your vehicle ownership records stay up-to-date

What is Hypothecation Continuation?

Hypothecation Continuation is the process of re-endorsing or extending the existing hypothecation (loan agreement) in your RC, typically during:

  • RC renewal (after 15 years)
  • Vehicle re-registration
  • Transfer of a vehicle to another state

It ensures that the name of the financier remains legally attached to your RC for as long as the vehicle is under a loan.

Who Needs Hypothecation Continuation?

You need hypothecation continuation if:

  • Your vehicle’s RC is due for renewal after 15 years
  • Your vehicle is being re-registered in another state
  • The loan on your vehicle is still active/unpaid
  • Your RC is being updated, but the financier is still legally involved

Note: If the hypothecation is not continued during RC renewal, it may result in:

  • Invalid ownership status
  • Rejection of insurance claims
  • Penalties at RTO
  • Legal complications with your financier

Step-by-Step Process for Hypothecation Continuation

1. Collect Required Documents

  • Ensure you have both RC renewal documents and hypothecation-related papers.

2. Get a No Objection Certificate (if needed)

  • Some states may require an updated consent or NOC from the financier.

3. Fill out the Application

  • Use Form 25 for RC renewal and Form 34 for hypothecation continuation.

4. Submit the Documents to the RTO

  • Submit the application forms and documents to your local RTO.

5. Verification by RTO

  • The RTO verifies the application, vehicle, and loan details.

6. Receive Updated RC

The RC will be reissued with the continued hypothecation endorsement.

FAQs

When do I need to apply for Hypothecation Continuation?

You need to apply when:
- Your existing vehicle loan has been extended
- You're switching lenders (balance transfer)
- The financier requests updated RC records
- The hypothecation term mentioned in the RC is ending

What is Form 34 in Hypothecation Continuation?

Form 34 is a mandatory document used to notify the RTO about continuing the hypothecation agreement on your vehicle. It must be signed by both you and the financier

Is it compulsory to update the hypothecation continuation in RC?

Yes. As per the Motor Vehicles Act, RC must reflect accurate financing details. If your vehicle continues under a loan, hypothecation continuation ensures legal compliance and protects you during resale or insurance claims.

Can I apply for Hypothecation Continuation online?

The process can be initiated through the Parivahan portal, but most states still require physical document submission at the RTO.

What is the fee for Hypothecation Continuation?

RTO fees range between ₹100 – ₹300, varying by vehicle type and state. Additional service or smart card charges may apply.

How long does Hypothecation Continuation take to process?

Generally, the process takes 7 to 15 working days, depending on the RTO workload and document completeness.

Can I sell my vehicle if hypothecation is continued?

No. Vehicles under active hypothecation cannot be sold or transferred without prior termination of the loan and removal of hypothecation from the RC
