Transporting Your Motorcycle(s) - Universal Thread.

Agarwal Packers and Movers - full marks!

Guys, My bike is here in the NCR!

There were no damages during transit. However, their stickers have left some marks on the bike (too strong stickers). I'll be getting rid of the sticker marks today. I personally went to their warehouse on the UP-Delhi border (Seemapuri) to collect the bike. Although it was quite costly (6k), it was worth!

[BANDHAV]

Congrats, buddy its good to learn that you have finally got your bike here.

Man, seempuri is like a stone's throw distance form my place.

Looking forward to meet you in coming G2Gs.

I'll be riding from tumkur to delhi sooooon very sooooon

Octroi Charges

What are the Octroi Charges or Taxes ? Why does one have to pay them when u transport ur motorcycle on a train from one place to another ? I have heard of these charges only in the metro cities.

Ive also heard that the tax is refundable and also that its charged because your importing a vehicle to the metro city such as mumbai.

Why dont they charge you when you ride your bike to mumbai ?

Why are these taxes present ? Please clear my queries... Been puzzled about this for quite a while. Tried my best by googling these but was left with no clear answer.

Query Merged.

@Kirosh: Congrats! I got my vehicle transported by train to&from Bangalore twice too. First time no damage, 2nd time front footpeg was bent.
As for the sticker marks, try cleaning them off with a cloth dipped in petrol. But do not pour petrol directly on the paint, as it will fade.

You don't need any NOC/paperwork if you're only going for touring as such. When you enter the other state, you will be asked for how long you are going to stay, at the Toll Booth. If you say not more than a day or two, you will be given a ticket valid for a week at a nominal charge of Rs.50 or so which you can produce if a cop catches you.

Thumbs up for Agra !!!

@Naman: My problem is I'm planning to tour a lot. Although the NCR cpos will not notice, the rest will. In fact, my first ride will be to Agra. It's been my dream to see the Taj Mahal.

I'm going ahead and bringing the bike. Let's see what to do next.

Hi Kirosh,

Apologies for replyin late by months.

Well I've a bike with UP registraton no. I've been riding in NCR for last 10 mts & no hassles at all. Just keep all necessary papers intact:

1. Registration Certificate
2. Driving Licence
3. Pollution Certificate
4. Comprehensve Insurance

Some of my frens have kept HR & PB bikes for years. Delhi is full of vehicles from other states so don't get stuck in NOC issues and all, unless you plan to sell it here.....

If you plan to visit Taj Mahal, go w'out no plate and you would encounter nothing.... just kidding.

In UP, don't ever worry bout no plates.... papers are always necessary. Tourers are respected everywhere... my personal experience. I was offered tea in Jaipur by a senior Cop, though he bombarded me with queries.

You face any problem in Agra, let me know..... it's my home town.

Regards,
Abhishek Bhatt

....also, i hv been to agra on my bike without facing any problem

[Help]: Bike registration and life tax clarifications

I own a bike which is registered to Tamil Nadu RTO and life taxes paid. If I am to take this bike to Banglore for a period of 2-3 years what are the necessary formalities which I'll have to follow.

Can I pay some tax amount to Karnataka RTO & continue to ride the bike in banglore with TN registration or do I have to get an NOC from TN RTO and get the bike re-registered to Karnataka RTO ?

[Aryan]

Query Moved and Approved.

First you will need NOC from Karnataka for shifting bike to Banglore. Then you'll need to register the bike in Banglore, paying the tax. After that, you can file for refund from Karnataka as you have paid tax in Banglore. Following links will be helpful for you.

As far as i know if you don't want to register the bike in other state then you just have to pay the road tax, for that no NOC is required..its just that you won't be able to sell your bike in karnataka.

things you need:
1. Invoice of the bike ( to calculate the current value, tax will be 4-7% of that depending on the age of the bike)
2. RC
3. insurence
4. emission certificate

Btw check karnataka's transport website..
