Reported on January 6, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #33884


There is no need for payment of road tax and re-registration in Karnataka, if you are only a temporary visitor. Even if you permanently shift your residence, you can continue with the Pondicherry number for one year. The problem is that a large number of people in Bangalore register their vehicles in Pondicherry, by paying lower taxes. Therefore, the RTO is naturally suspicious of Pondicherry registered cars. I would advise you to carry evidence of your permanent residence in Pondicherry, so taht you can avoid harassment by the police in Bangalore.

What is your reaction after reading this report?

Hi Raghu, I am from the Pondicherry State(PY-03). I travel extensively on account of work. But approximately 1 week in every month i will be spending in Bangalore. About 2/3 weeks in Pondicherry. I also travel to cochin and Calicut in Kerala. My office is in Bangalore. My car is registered in Pondichery(as i dont have any address proof any where else. except for a bangalore Mobile number). Every time i travel in Bangalore the Traffic cops tell me that i have to get my Car registred and Tax paid in Bangalore. But i am worried the same thing would happens when i go back to Pondicherry !!. Please advice what can be done in this situation. What are the rules regarding this. Do i have to pay the Tax in Bangalore ?
