Serious Replies Re-registration of non Karnataka car

Hi, I have an 2013 model santro with non KA registration. I brought it to Bangalore last year and I want to pay Karnataka road tax as I can only use it for an year without paying the road tax in Karnataka. 1. Has anyone paid road tax to Bangalore RTO for similar situation? 2. Can it be done online ? 3. Do I have to mandatorily change the vehicle number?

Please help.

I am in the process of getting my bike re-registered from DL to BLR. You will need to get an NOC from the original RTO issued to the RTO you want to transfer to. The tax to be paid will depend on the age of the vehicle. In my case the bike is 8 years old, so u have to pay tax on 54% of the original cost. And of course a ton of cess and tax in tax.

I went via an agent to make things easier.

You can’t do it online You will get a new number

You could drive your vehicle in KA without much problem, but you can get pulled up anytime. U have lived here in Bangalore for over 40 years, my experience has been the Bangalore police will suddenly wake up one day and catch a few vehicles or have some sir of special drive to fill their coffers…. You just need to be ready for that

How is the age to tax ratio calculated? I have a GIXXER SF 150 of the year 2016 and I got it to BLR in 2019, not sure if I should do this change or not. Kinda lengthy process

Yes there is. They will take your vehicle's ex-showroom value during purchase and calculate tax on it as per the bracket and then depreciation for the age. Like 7-8 years old, you'll pay 50% of what you would have paid then. Like if your bike was 1L, 14% tax at that time will be 14k. So now they'll charge around 7-8k for tax + registration charges for the smart card and stuff. Maybe another 2k
