Hi,
I have recently purchased a new Honda from here in Mumbai. After visiting the dealer and choose the car, I decided to buy the car. After 5 days once I have made the full car payment, the showroom guys asked me for additional 6000Rs cash amount. They informed me that since I have been staying on rented basis in bombay then because of this I have to pay the bribe. When I told them that I have the house registered lease rent agreement with all the police verification done which I can give it as an address proof then they said no it won't work. I told them that I have my passport,driving licence, Addhar Card and everything with me but the address mentioned on that is my hometown address. Only thing which I have for my mumbai address is my rent agreement on which I have opened a new bank account, new MTNL connection and everything but why can't I get the vehicle registration.
I asked them one basic question:- Is it necessary for a person like me to get a owned house first in order to buy a car? Or how are we going to proceed on this. They said that the Andheri RTO charges an additional amount (without receipt) in order to pass the vehicle on your name.
Unfortunately for the first time in my life I have to pay the bribe to the showroom guys which they have taken from me stating that this money will go to the RTO. Not sure whose commission is how much but an individual like me suffered.
I wish if something can be done in this.
