Temporary registration of car for Frequent inter -state transfers

Hi,
I am in a job where  I keep on changing my city and State after 6 month  to one year.
I am planning to buy a car for me and my family. (Family includes me my wife and small kid ).
I will like to expalin this as per below situation.
At present I am at orissa may be after 6 month I go to delhi .in Delhi I may stay for 8 month or 1 year or may be 1.5 yr then for 8 month to mumbai then after 6 month to pune then after 1 year to Lucknow then 1 year and lucknow and after that in Delhi. in Delhi i may stay for two year and May be I may settle for my whole life to delhi but not 100% sure.
in this case what I am supposed to do . Do I need to re-register my vehicle every time i move to different state or is there any other way also. But that will be very costly affair.
Here one delear was telling , there is some option that on monthly basis some what around 200 Rs . You may take temporary registration in any state you go for one year or even more than that?Is it trure.?
Please suggest best way out on above situation.

As I understand...

 

• You have to get your car registered at the place of your residence.  It may not necessarily be at the place wherefrom you buy it or the place you are currently staying at.

You can buy a car from Bangalore while staying in Bhubhaneshwar & get it registered at Mumbai if you have a residence proof thereof.  But the car invoice should carry residential address of Mumbai, in that case.

• There is no restriction on using the car in another state for a period not exceeding 3 months (no re-registration or paying of taxes is required).
• For usage exceeding 3 months but not beyond 1 year, 1-year tax is payable (no re-registration is required.
• For usage exceeding 1 year, re-registration & paying of taxes are required.

Hi Pankaj,
Thanks for the information , Do you have idea for how much is tax for one year .
I will talk more partilular by this Example, I am at bhubaneshwar But I am expecting that in next 6-8 month I may move to delhi/UP ( But Not  100 %Sure  I may stay in Bhubaneshwar for more than 1 year so suppose I go delhi after 6 months I have to pay for only road tax - That too if I am staying for more than 3 months . Am I correct?) Can you just approx how much I have to pay in that case? ( for a car of onroad price 4.0 Lacs)

True - if you relocate to Delhi for more than 3 months (but less than 1 year), you have to pay 1-year tax (for below 3 months, not required).  I'm, however, not aware of the amount or % of tax applicable in Delhi.  I can enquire about it locally (Gujarat) but then it varies from state to state.

 

In Delhi, as I understand by hearsay, there's some restriction on re-registration - you will have to enquire about that too.

As such, life-time tax is for a period of 15 years (all states). Therefore, 1-year tax should be proportionately on pro-rata basis. 

 

Here in Gujarat the life-time tax is 6% of the car's ex-factory price (exluding excise & other taxes).

is it possible that I purchase the car this month in Orissa and pay road tax only for one year and do not get it registerd and get it registered after 1-2 month for UP/Delhi Registration
Reason why I am asking this is that I want to save registration money at the time of purchase as I dont have much money foe downpayment

No, it's not possible.  At the time/place of first registration, taxes / life-time taxes, as applicable, have to be paid. 

 

Besides, like I have stated before, it has to be registration (first) at the place based on the residential address mentioned in the car invoice/bill.

 

By the way, temporary registration, based on which the car is delivered, is valid for one month.

What is the way out in this case then, If I have to stay in my current state only for one year why should I pay tax for 15 years( As far as I know registration charges at the time of purchase included Registration+road tax for 15 years... correct me if I am wrong.
I am purchasing this vehicle is Orissa and after i yr I am planning to move out of orissa.
My Native place is UP. I have address proof also ,Is it posssible any way I can pay road tax only for one year in orissa and Get my vehicle registered in UP, and after one yr when I move to UP , I will pay road tax in UP. Is it possible?

One more thing while applying for laon in SBI I have given address proof of Orissa , will there be any problem in getting my vehicle registered in UP.(I mean will there be any proble if in th invoice of car my permanent address of UP is mentioned). I have mentioned my address also in my loan form in bank.

If you get the car registered (first) in Orissa, you have to pay life-time tax there.  Later, when you relocate to UP, you will have to get an NOC from Orissa RTO in favour UP RTO – based thereon, you will have to get it re-registered there by paying taxes afresh (within 3 months from the date of NOC). Thereafter, based on the evidence of re-registration & paying of taxes in UP, you can claim refund of life-tax paid earlier at Orissa. The procedure is lengthy & tedious – you will need help of a good/reliable agent & a friend/relative to follow up locally (Orissa).

 

Alternatively, if you are very sure of relocating to UP in a year, I would suggest you to purchase the car with residential address of UP & get it registered there.  Bring it to Orissa & pay 1-year tax, as applicable, and thereafter on relocation to UP, you have nothing to do/worry.  In that case, I would suggest you to purchase the car from UP itself (you will have to intimate the Bank suitably & change the dealer quote/estimate etc.).

 

There is no harm in giving your present address of Orissa for the purpose of Bank Loan while you give address of UP for purchase of car (invoice).  As such, in bank loan form, I think you are required to give both the addresses, present address (Orissa) & permanent address (UP).

 

 

@Pradeep, whatever I have mentioned regarding RTO/Registration/Refund etc. are to the best of my knowledge.  However, it would be prudent to ascertain the same locally too.

As you have mentioned above(Marked in Bold) Can I get my car registered at UP adddress at the time of purchase in Orissa Only , why should I get it registered in Orissa.
