Seller Kavach Eliminates Post-Sale Liability Risks
When you sell a car in India, the new owner's name isn't officially updated in the government records right away.
This can take weeks or even months.
During this time, if the car gets a traffic ticket or is involved in an accident, the old owner might have to pay for it.
A new report says that a service called Seller Kavach from CARS24 helps protect sellers from these problems.
It covers traffic fines, accident costs, and even legal troubles.
The service starts protecting you as soon as you hand over the car and continues until the official paperwork is done.
It also checks the car thoroughly before the sale to make sure everything is in order.
This way, sellers don't have to worry about unexpected costs or legal issues after selling their car.
Seller Kavach by CARS24 provides comprehensive protection to car sellers from post-sale liabilities.
The service covers traffic violation challans, third-party claims, and accidental liabilities from the moment of handover.
Seller Kavach offers legal indemnity and professional legal representation in courtrooms free of cost.
The platform provides standardised legal protection in 220+ cities with real-time tracking of RC transfer progress.
Protection begins at the exact timestamp of vehicle pickup, provided all documents are verified.
