2. Accident

   In case of a road mishap, your vehicle might get damaged by a third party. In such circumstances, you can track the vehicle owner's details of the third party using the registration number.

   However, as a vehicle owner, it is mandatory to have at least third-party liabilities insurance in India. Filing a claim for accidental damages against the third party and getting compensated with the right claim amount under your insurance plan is easy.

3. While Buying a Second-hand Vehicle

   You must check the vehicle owner's details via VAHAN if you are buying a used vehicle directly from the owner or through a dealer. This guarantees the authenticity & genuineness of the vehicle & its owner.

4. No Objection Certificate (NOC)

   Using VAHAN, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) officials can access the vehicle data through a centralised database for vehicle registration certificates. Therefore, there is no need to present the NOC of your vehicle.
