This Policy was modified by ICANN’s Board of Directors on 7 November 2008 with an Effective Date of 15 March 2009. See modified version of Policy.

A .in domain must also have been registered for more than 60 days before you are allowed to transfer registrars. If, however, your domain happens to be involved in a legal dispute or if you are facing bankruptcy then the transfer of a domain name will not take effect.

Ensure a valid email address for the administrative contact (admin) of your .in domain name in the Whois database. Both registrars use this email address to send you important information about the transfer. If it is invalid, contact your current registrar to update it.
Unlock your .in cpr144449003101 domain name at your current registrar.
Get an authorization code (also known as an EPP code or transfer key) from your current .registrar, if required. Some domain name extensions, primarily country-code top-level domain names (ccTLDs), do not require an authorization code.
Authorize the transfer for .in Domain Name

Again, the deal you score will depend on the registrar and on the amount of time you put into finding a package that is most suited to your needs.
