I’ve booked an old car and paid the advance amount. The seller says I can take the car after paying the remaining balance, but the ownership transfer might take 15 days. Can I legally drive the car during those 15 days? If so, what documents should I get from the seller before taking possession?

You can drive the car after paying the balance, but it’s advisable to get a temporary registration slip (Form 21) from the seller along with the original registration certificate (RC) and insurance documents. This will allow you to drive the car legally during the 15-day ownership transfer period, though it’s essential to complete the transfer process within that timeframe.
