Opinion on buying a car from neighbouring State/UT to save Road Tax

[Anupama_Jha]

It's widely known that PY-registered cars typically sell for slightly less during resale, as buyers are aware they were purchased at a lower price initially.

Typical uncle behaviour. Before buying any xyz thing, start thinking about selling.

To register the car in AP I've to pay Road Tax of AP

btw legally speaking, road tax, driving license, & registration of a vehicle in any state is valid in any other state.

prove that you have not been in the current state for more than 6 months continously... Otherwise they can fine and impound.

Which Act are you referring too?

By the way a lot of filmstars, sportsmen, politicians etc register their BMW, Audi, Merc, Ferraris etc in PY to save lakhs and crores of taxes.

Crores of taxes?

What.

See if you can get BH number plate. No problems if you get BH number

Which Act are you referring too?

Section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988... However, this is the upper limit, each state can reduce their own. For example, in Karnataka, the period is 30 days, so in 30 days the vehicle needs to cross a state border.

Yeah, if you are holding 5-10+ vehicles. Then obviously, the total crosses over crores saved in taxes.

Also, I have seen this a few times when crossing tolls. A super expensive car would be brought up to the toll by a truck in a container, then the vehicle would be offloaded, they would cross the toll, then return back, and then load it into the container and taken back... I guess that's how they are having their workaround for this law.

(1) When a motor vehicle registered in one State has been kept in another State, for a period exceeding twelve months, the owner of the vehicle shall, within such period and in such form containing such particulars as may be prescribed by the Central Government, apply to the registering authority, within whose jurisdiction the vehicle then is, for the assignment of a new registration mark and shall present the certificate of registration to that registering authority​

Damn
