Selling a used car can feel like navigating a legal minefield. While securing a fair price is a victory, the biggest question that keeps sellers up at night is: What happens after the handover? The traditional used car market is riddled with anxiety, forcing sellers to endure a stressful waiting period until the Registration Certificate (RC) is officially transferred. This delay leaves you, the original owner, legally exposed to risks caused by the new buyer.
Recognising this deeply rooted vulnerability in the Indian auto market, CARS24 has introduced a revolutionary solution: CARS24 Seller Kavach. Seller Kavach is India’s only full seller protection policy in the used car market, designed from the ground up to offer you maximum safety and peace of mind. It marks the moment CARS24 became the single marketplace willing to go the extra mile to fully safeguard sellers’ interests, ensuring your well-being is secured long after the keys are exchanged.
The Problem: A Legal Tightrope Walk
The moment you hand over your car, a financial transaction ends, but your legal liability does not. Until the RC transfer is complete, a process often delayed or poorly managed in conventional sales, you remain the legal owner. This prolonged exposure can create unexpected financial burdens and severe legal complications if the new owner is not careful with the vehicle.
Imagine receiving a hefty e-challan for a traffic violation committed by the new owner weeks after the sale, or worse, a police notice involving the vehicle in an unfortunate incident. Without any protection, the burden of proof, legal fees, and financial penalties falls squarely on your shoulders. You’re left chasing paperwork and dealing with RTO red tape, transforming a successful sale into a protracted headache. CARS24 understands this reality and has made the bold commitment to eliminate this post-sale risk entirely.
CARS24’s Unprecedented Commitment: Absolute Zero Liability
CARS24 is the pioneering marketplace that completely breaks away from the conventional model by providing an unbreakable shield for its sellers. When selling your car to CARS24, you can opt in for the seller protection policy (Seller Kavach).
