Tekurkar's query : I
had purchased a TVS Scooty in Bangalore in November'2001. I have been
transferred to Mumbai. While transporting the vehicle I paid an Octroi
@ 4.5%. I have also applied for NOC at Bangalore RTO. What else do
I need to pay to get my vehicle registered in Mumbai.
|
Dr. Pasricha
Answers : You
should approach your RTO in Mumbai under whose jurisdiction you are
staying now. You will have to show your registration book taxation
book, insurance policy, PUC certificate and the NOC obtained from
RTO Banglore alongwith Octroi receipt. If your vehicle is older than
30 months the RTO will transfer the vehicle immediately, if the vehicle
is not very old you will also have to pay entry tax as per the Maharashtra
Rules. Also you will have to pay the Life Time Tax as stipulated by
the state and later you can obtain refund from Banglore RTO

Prakash's
query : Do
we have any website by wherein we can keep a track of the traffice
movements in Mumbai
|
Dr. Pasricha
Answers : Since
the traffic movement is very very fast in a city like Mumbai it is
not possible to have an updated website to give the latest information.
They plans to introduce real time traffice information system which
however, will take few more years before it becomes reality in Mumbai

would be the octro, road tax and other staruatory charges I will have

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : If
you are going to stay at Mumbai for more than 1 year, you have to
get NOC from your present RTO and get the vehicle re-registered at
your new RTO at Mumbai. You have to pay Life Time Tax in Mumbai and
after that you can apply for refund from your old RTO. If you are
going to use the vehicle more than one year in any state you have
to register / re-register the vehicle in that state. If you proposed
to stay more than three months but less than one year you have to
inform your new RTO in Mumbai and pay some certain road taxes. For
re-registration you have to produce your vehicle physically alongwith
all documents together with the NOC.

this problem ?? Please help soon
|
Dr. Pasricha
Answers : As
per the insurance law an insured vehicle can be given to another person
for driving provided he has a valid driving license. If you nephew
had the driving license on the date of accident, there should be no
problem in moving to insurance company for claiming compensation.
The insurance company decide the quantum of the compensation factors.
It is however, mandatory for the owner of the vehicle to inform the
insurance company as early as possible. Please do it now without further
loss of time.

Srinivas's
query : Sir,
I bought a old Kinetic Honda.RC book is still on the previous Owner
name & Before i changed it to my name, I lost the Original RC book.
In this Circumstance, how can i get the original RC Book. Please provide
me your suggestion.

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : You
should have got your name changed on the documents as soon as you
had bought the motorcycle. Now you should get in touch with the previous
owner and request him to apply to the RTO where the vehicles is registered
and request for a duplicate RC book. You will have to give a copy
of the lost report lodged with the police station and show other documents
such as tax certificate, insurance certificate and PUC.
