query :Hi Dr. Pasricha, I woudl like to sell my car (WagonR, registered in Chandigarh in Oct-2001 with all paper work intact !) to a prospect in Bangalore. What are the extra charges that have to be borne, and the paper work reqd by my prospect. We have yet to negotiate a final deal. Pls. help. Thanks.
|
|
Dr. Pasricha
Answers : You will have to fill up forms in RTO Chandigarh and ensure tht all the tax have been paid in Chandigarh. Another option is to obtain NOC from RTO Chandigarh and reregister your vehicle in Banglore and then sell it. For that you will have to pay RTO tax etc. once again at Banglore. I advise is to sell your car in Chandigarh and let the new buyer transfer it wherever he wants.

SAYONI BASU's
query :According to RTO regulations, no person shall drive any motor vehicle or cause or permit one to be driven if it is not registered in accordance with the MVA and CMVR.
Every motor vehicle has to be registered with the RTO under whose jurisdiction the owner of the vehicle normally resides, or has a place for conducting business. My question is: If my place of work is in Delhi, and my address is in Delhi, can I use my car in Bombay without changing the registration?

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : You can use a vehicle outside a state in another state without changing the registration , only up to one year..

ASHISH's
query :Dear Mr. Pasricha,
Thanks for the quick reply for your mail i asked you.
I have one other query. This refers to the question of Mr. Arvind Saxena's (below)to which you replied.
In reply you have said that, after three months you are supposed to inform local RTO .
I brought my motorcycle 15-20 days back. Suppose if traffic inspector stops me how can i prove him that i have brought my motorcycle few days back only and not more than 3 months backs.
Also tell if there is any provision for people who frequently change their staying place in India.
Thanks
ARVIND SAXENA's query : Hi I want to bring one of my bike into bangalore
from MP, One is 3years old and another one is 6months old. I heard that I
have to pay again a big amount as road tax here. For how much durations
(short duration) I can use my bike in bangalore without paying for that.
Thanks in advance for your help
Dr. Pasricha Answers : The road tax, entry tax and octroi vary from state to
state. The most states you should not have to pay entry tax for vehicles
order than 15 months while registering your vehicle in another state. You
are permitted to use your Bike in Banglore for a period of one year.
However, after three months you are supposed to inform the local RTO and pay
some Road Tax. In case you are getting the vehicle registered in Banglore
you have to pay Life Time Tax but you will be entitled to seek refund of the
amount paid in MP, as per the formula applicable at the RTO in MP.

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : I appreciate your predicament. The police officers can always ascertain the truth. However, I advise you to keep some petrol bills with you in the car so that the arguments can be avoided.
