Your query is pertaining to renew old registration to certify road worthiness of your old vehicle. Its not a hectic process nor it is a costly one. If all your papers are up to date you will not face any issues.

One year MV tax is only in few cities and states. After the issuance of NOC from the original RTO, some RTOs consider 180 days re-register period, some accept the NOC within one week or one month only, thereafter they impose a slab based penalty . Re-registering will not cost you 10k because I paid 12k for my 2004 Maruti 800 to register it in Gujarat in Oct 2011....

10k isnt for re-registration, its the refund of Karnataka road tax an entitled to. Re-registration in Assam for a 1 year old bike bike would cost max 3k!

Thats some good news! Apart from the NOC and filing of road tax refund later, is there any other paperwork required at original RTO?

There are many things that are being partly told and made understood here.

You can retain the old redg no. of your new bike as well. This is possible in every state and same applies for Bangalore as well. All this is possible only after you have paid the road tax in Bangalore. The old redg. will be transferred to Bangalore and the RC book will be stamped.
But the new Bangalore no would only cost you an extra fee of Rs.500-600 for a KA-XX-XX-XXXX no, considering that i would not like to be stopped everytime by the cops even after paying 8-10K for the road-tax.

Getting hooked by cops and tolerating their nuisance gives us more stress. I am staying on border area, residence in Mumbai and work in Gujarat, believe me its worth paying the tax and live happily. Moreover other motorists tend to misbehave seeing out state number plate, even for your own safety its good, tracking a vehicle having other state registration is not easy.Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk 2

Kindly note road tax is state controlled and varies from state to state. Its not a central govt. regulation. As article on the same that was discussed here.
In Bangalore its considerably high and you can cough upto 11.5-12.5% of the ex-showroom price. I re-redg a 2005 Karizma for which i have to pay about 8K as road tax. This since i do not have the original showroom invoice copy to prove them the ex-showroom price of 2005.

^ I searched a lot these days and still searching, but didn't get relevant information. Its just out of curiosity that I asked coz I don't want to get lost in govt offices. Am trying to pull in every possible way to save my 10k coz am not rich enough to let it go. Just wanted to get some details from senior members who have taken these troubles in past. Its not fantasy but rather reality.

If you already have the NOC you might as well redg. the bike and get it over and done with. Please consider the long term, incase your staying here in excess of 4+ years.

[asif]

Sorry i don't have a no to any agents, but you can always google and am sure you will get an answer.

Since you can't have it redg it in Gurgaon due to emission norms, try getting it redg it in Faridabad or Delhi (I have my doubts on Delhi as well due to emission norms).

Suggest you get the bike transferred to your name first and then apply for the FC and stuff. Once redg. your half headache is over.

Thanks for the info! Will apply for the NOC soon. Am going from Karnataka to Assam (permanently), will retaining the old KA number still entitle me the road tax refund of Karnataka (~9.7k INR) ?

Faridabad and Delhi will have the same problem. NCR. But its getting the RC renewed which is the biggest headache.

Anyways thanks. Will keep this thread informed when I manage to get it done.

Transfer procedure from one state to another

Hi guys,

One of my friends own a FZ which he bought in Pune. He is currently shifted to Chennai and has shipped the bike to Chennai through paramount packers. He has the original docs of the bike and the NOC certificate from Pune RTO. Now to drive in Chennai what are the procedures he need to follow so that he escapes the menace of traffic cops here.

He will stay in Chennai for atleast a year. He hails from Tamilnadu and has plans of settling here.

Help pls

Need help with NOC in Bengaluru

Hi guys,

My friend wants to transport his bike from Vadodara to Bengaluru in another two weeks.

The bike is registered under his name. Documents like RC book, third-party insurance, license and PUC are valid and clear. He wants to know if a NOC has to be made before transporting the bike to B'lore? If Yes, will the NOC be made at Vadodara or B'lore? I do not have any idea of B'lore.

Also, please share a format of NOC application if any or will it be available at the respective RTOs?

Bikers from B'lore and others who have shifted base to B'lore in the last 2-3 years from a different state please share your views.

I transported my bike from Pune to Vadodara with all documents clear about 5 months back and did not remove a NOC till date.

TIA,
Cheers,
CBZ

NOC will have to be taken from RTO where the vehicle is registered. So, in your friend's case, it will have to come from Vadodara RTO.

You were lucky that Vadodara Traffic Cops are lenient and allow outside state vehicles without issue, my friend has been using his MH-15 registered CBZ * in Vadodara/Ahmedabad/Gandhinagar for the last 4 years. But don't attempt such a thing in Pune/Bangalore lest you want to be fined for not carrying NOC.

Bangalore to Hyderabad or Chennai

Guys, need some serious advice here.

I have 6 months more of college left, after that 6 months of internship and then full time employment. I'm currently residing in Bangalore.

Problem is I may move to Hyderabad or Chennai either immediately after college or after internship period is over (ideally if I can pull the right strings I'm trying to stay at home for next 1 year and then shift to Hyd).

Obviously since its full-time employment I would need to switch registration of the bike. Can someone tell me how much moolah I would loose if I change registration to another state (and pay lifetime tax there and collect refund here) for a bike that has ex-showroom of around 55k and on-road price of around 65k in Bangalore ? For both 6 months and 12 months scenarios.

Hi MHG, you need to first make NOC at Bangalore (where your bike is registered). It would cost you around 500-600Rs + some bribe probably (~200). Then comes the cost of transfer. Since you aren't transferring the bike too far it should be around 1000Rs (estimated) in Railways including everything (wrapping + small bribes). Your NOC will expire in 3months probably so you have to pay tax in the new state and claim refund there before it expires. Since Karnataka taxes are higher you should loose much here but I think getting back the refund will be a pain in the A$$.

For a period of stay less than a year, you DO NOT have to re-register your bike. For a period of stay which is more than a year, you'll have to re-register your bike.
The life time tax can be roughly estimated to be around 7~8% of the current value of the vehicle (which depends on the age of the vehicle). The change of address + registration & smart card comes to around INR 2000. So, assuming your bike is a year old, it'll be a max of around 7,000 (assuming 10% depreciation), if they don't take up any bribe that is.
For registration you would require the following documents:
1. NOC (Form 28) - expires within 45 days from the date of issue, beyond which fines are imposed (I'd suggest you do it within 45 days because the fines can be reasonably on the higher side).
2. Form 20 for change of address (if I remember correctly) - you can find it online as well.
3. Valid insurance policy papers
4. RC book
5. New address proof

Good Luck!!

I tried getting NOC from Mysore RTO, where my 14 month old bike is registered, without any agent. Agents quote 1200+ rs for NOC. Submitted my original RC along with the NOC form, chassis print and all. They said to come after 10 days to collect NOC but to my horror, they kept the file pending and didn't even obtain the NOC from police department. 3 days went while I personally did the work of a peon, taking the file across various tables, commissioner's office and so on. Finally on 4th day or so, it hit a roadblock coz the commissioner's office required original RC for verification and the RTO won't give me the original RC as it was in their possession. After much debate with the concerned officers who would do anything to take a bribe, they won't even talk with me coz I couldn't speak in Kannada. Finally got some acquaintance in RTO, gave him an application asking to cancel my NOC application and return me the original RC. He did issue me the original RC and now am happily riding the KA registered bike in Assam. Took a fuel receipt when I left Mysore and I learnt from people here that police here isn't that strict to check when I entered the state! Afterall, am exercising my fundamental right to travel anywhere in India!
