Re: The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Thanks a lot. That was really helpful. So even if he decides to pay road tax in Pune, no NOC is needed right?

If he decides to pay tax in Pune, NOC is required from KA RTO. I am riding a KA bike in Pune for the more than a year now. I have been caught twice. Once they asked about NOC which I didn't have. But I showed them the PUC, at that time my stay in Pune didn't exceed by even a month, which they didn't agree to. So I had to do 'settlement'. After that the second time they caught I, became more smarter by the last incident , told them that I am here not to stay but to visit. That's the last time. My office is also at Hinjewadi and during office hours it is so much rush that the police don't catch anyone. During the weekends and night there's not a huge problem and your friend can roam freely. But try to avoid the last weekend/s of a month for obvious reasons.

Ha ha. Thanks. So paying the road tax is also ruled out. I'll tell him to keep toll/ATM receipts of KA refreshed every month so that he can lie that he is a visitor

@ ARNABC - have you paid the road tax????? If not than you have to pay fine.

Please note for paying a road tax NOC is not required. NOC is only required when you want to transfer your vehicle to Maharashtra. If your stay is for a limited period you can pay the road tam ride the bike in Maharashtra and when done can head back to your base state. This will not change your vehicle registration number and the it will still be registered as a KA or MP bike.

I have 2 Bikes at my place for both we have paid the road tax and we ride freely. And at any given point we are also allowed to take the bike back to our base state.

So PCgamer if your friend wants to pay the road tax he can. However, please be aware that the road tax is not calculated on the duration of the stay. They are calculated from the time of your entrance in Maharashtra to the vehicle expiry date (life time).

Now the next question comes in mind about the cost as Road tax. As the Bike has not been purchased in MH the cost is less than normal Road tax.

I recently paid Road tax for a Pulsar 150 Gujrat registered and land up paying around 5K. For life time.

I was in talks with an agent for road tax payment. I asked him for a rough estimate of how much its gonna cost for my 6 yr old R15v1 and he said it'll be minimum around 7k for life time road tax. Luckily we'd a RTO camp for road tax payment of outside state vehicles in our office and I got it done there itself. The RTO officials calulated the road tax considering the depreciation and price of bike in invoice receipt and the final amount came to 4.8k. The documents required in this process was original bike invoice recipt, insurance papers, registration papers, road tax payment proof in home state and a printout from NCRB website stating that the bike is not stolen or involved in any illegal activities.

Can you please prepare a small note on the procedure and upload it here and on xbhp Pune FB group? It can become a guideline for everyone asking about it.

Detailed Procedure for payment of road tax

==================
Documents required
==================
1. Registration certificate. (photocopy + original)
2. Valid insurance papers. (photocopy + original)
3. PUC. (photocopy + original)
4. Local address proof. (photocopy + original)
5. Road tax receipt in home state(If its mentioned in RC then no additional proof is required) (photocopy + original)
6. Original sales invoice (photocopy + original)
7. Form FT (http://www.rtopune.info/forms/form_ft.pdf) which is required for intimation of arrival of vehicle in Maharashtra. (Original)
8. Printout from NCRB(National Crime Records Bureau) website stating the bike is not stolen.

=============================
Steps to generate NCRB form
============================
1. Go to Welcome to National Crime Records Bureau
2. Click on "Vehicle Enquiry".
3. Select "Verify status of 2nd hand vehicle (Stolen or Not)" in the type of search.
3. Enter the details as mentioned in the RC. Even if there's a spelling mistake in your RC you need to mention exactly the same details as in your RC.
4. Click on search and take printout of the next page. (Disable pop-up blocker if you have it enabled in your system)


The procedure that I'm about to describe is based on my experience in a RTO camp organised in our office. It might be slightly different as it was completed in 2 phases. If you approach RTO directly then it'll be completed in one go.

=====
Day-1
=====
All the photo-copies mentioned in the above checklist were submitted and we're provided with Form FT which was to be submitted duly filled in on the day of payment of tax. The amount we had to pay was calulated on this day itself. In my case it was Rs 4888/- out of which 4700/- was road tax and 188/- was additional tax. Just out of curiosity I thought of calculating the depreciation rate:

7% of bike's current value=Rs 4700
Bike's current value= 4700*100/7= Rs 67,142/-
Ex-showroom price=Rs 97,500/- (Oct '08 Yamaha YZF-R15)
Depreciation= 97500-67142= Rs 30,358/-
% depreciation= 30358/97500*100= 31.13%

So we can safely assume that for a 5yr and 5month old vehicle depreciation rate is roughly ~30%.

=====
Day-2
=====
On this day we'd to bring all the original documents for verification along with form FT that was provided on day-1 and NCRB form. After verification and payment of the required amount, roadtax payment receipt was provided.

===============
Important Info:
===============
1. You can ride your bike without any hassle till 30 days from the day you enter Maharastra. Always keep a proof which shows the date of entry into Maharastra.
2. If you've exceeded the 30 days period then you've to pay fine for late payment of roadtax.
3. If your bike is less than a year old then you have to pay additional VAT along with the road tax.
4. If you don't want to pay lifetime road tax then you can go for 6 months road tax for which you need to produce NOC. You can again extend it for another 6 months but after that you've to pay lifetime tax.
5. The current value of the vehicle calculated by RTO officials is significantly higher than the IDV mentioned in insurance certificate.
6. Road tax is calculated @7% of the current value of your vehicle.
7. Whenever you decide to move out from Maharastra you can apply for refund of roadtax. You'll be lucky if you get the refund before you're dead...
