Re-Registering a bike in Pondicherry (From Chennai)

This might sound a bit crazy. But please bear with me.

I recently bought an Electra from Chennai (September '12). Reason being the waiting period there was fairly short and heard only bad things about the dealer in Pondicherry. I registered the bike in Chennai using a relative's address. The bike bears a TN 09 registration. I don't think
I'll be commuting extensively as I thought I would to Chennai on the bike and would like to register it back in Pondicherry.Also, there is this emotional attachment to PY registration. Call it sentimental value.

1. Should I get an NOC from Chennai before registering it here in Pondicherry? ( I will be going to the RTO office over the weekend, but would like a heads-up)
2. Will I be able to get a refund of the road tax paid at the Chennai RTO ?
3. It's probably going to be an arduos task, but is it a bad idea?


Cheers
Santhosh

Guys, i own a KA(karnataka) registered bike bought in nov '03.Since 2005 im riding the bike in mumbai.I pulled out the NOC from KA RTO and also paid the octroi charges in mumbai.Now im planning to register the bike in mumbai.My RTO agent says road tax charges are included in octroi charges too.IS this true?? Did my octroi agent dupe me off my road tax?? I paid around 3k octroi charges in 2006 i guess.

1. Yes
2. For refund you need to pay the road-tax in Pondicherry and submit a copy of the Pondicherry road-tax receipt in Chennai.
3. It's always better to keep clean paperwork but then most people don't get the tax amount refunded from the old state, even if they do its a hell lot of hassle. Still, if you plan to stay in Pondicherry for a long long time then its better to register it there and sell off the bike at a later stage.

Hi guys,
My bike has been registered in Kerala for the past 4 years (since the day it was bought there ). now I have moved to Chennai since I got a job ! Since the bike is Registered in Kerala , should i re-register it or something so that i can ride in Chennai without the authorities constantly nagging me.


Additional info :
- Not planning to sell the bike anytime soon
- Period of stay hasn't been confirmed (may be 1 or 2 or 3 years )
- Have got a NOC from local RTO in Kerala just in case
- Already moved the bike to Chennai

Please give some information regarding to what has to be done.

Hoping to meet the Chennai Xbhp gang soon !

For a period of stay <= 1 year, you don't need to re-register your bike, you just need to keep a proof that you've moved in some time ago.
For more than a year you must re-register, as per Motor Vehicles Act. Fore re-registering you'll need NOC from previous state, form 20 & 28, receipt of road tax from previous state, Owner's book (smart card), valid insurance & address proof.

Yes, you can get it re-registered anytime after paying a fine (which depends on how long the bike has run without a registration). Make sure you take the NOC, Owner's book (smart card), valid insurance papers, and receipt of road tax from the previous owner. You might also need to prepare a sale deed as a proof of sale.

Hi Guys, I am in a dilemma here.. PLease help..
I have my Kerala State Registered bike which I use in Bangalore for the last few months.
I had recently lost all my original documents: RC Book, Insurance Papers, Tax Papers etc. I do not have any copies of the same too.
The Bike's Registration was expired on Sept.2011 and I am not sure of what I should do now to get the bike legal to ride as I dont have any documents with me.

Hoping to be saved from this soon...

Tried filing an FIR of the same? You've to submit the FIR to the concerned department & you should get duplicate copies of all documents

[MashOnYamaha]

Thanks Mate....
An FIR !? I had lost it a few days ago, I have not yet reported it to the local cops. And I haven't paid the Karnataka State tax for the transfer, so not sure if they will take up the matter. Or do I have to go back to Kerala(where the bike is registered) and get a FIR ?

I checked the website of RTO and found applications for applying duplicates, but not sure of how to go about duplicates of Insurance papers!

Get an NOC from Pune RTO. The NOC will remain valid for 11 months. You can use this NOC to ride your bike legally in Bangalore for this aforementioned 11 month period.

If you happen to extend your stay inside Bangalore(to over this 11 month period), you can use this same document to get the bike re-registered over there. Of course, road tax paid at either end is non refundable.

hey thanks for reply but I have one doubt do I have to pay road tax in bangalore for these 11 months?? I am quite sure I wont stay in bangalore for more than 8 months so getting NOC from pune RTO without paying any road tax in bangalore will suffice?

No Road tax payment is required for the first 11 months.
