Guys,
I have been driving my TN registered vehicle in bangalore for more than 6-7 months. I had all these questions initially and was worried driving in bangalore. But believe me it is not at all a problem. All you need to do is,
1) Ensure you do not break the traffic rules. Bangalore police are aware that most of the cars are from outside of the state and they really do not worry much about the road tax being paid here (my experience). Also I have noticed that lots of TN registered people stay in Hosur and come and work in Electronic city. So you will be most likely caught only if you break the traffic rules and not for the other state registration purpose.
2) All you need to do is, you need to keep a recent petrol / diesel bill filled in TN with you. (I am not sure how practical is this for everyone. I do visit TN at least once in a month. So it is not a problem for me). So even if you get caught, you can show the bill and explain that you are here for very short period and will go back soon. Police men in bangalore accept that.
I believe same thing may apply for the KA registration vehciles in TN also.
