False commitment from 2 Wheeler showroom
2 months ago
Sir, I bought a 2 Wheeler from showroom and they agreed to get the registration done with 8% Life time road tax and I made 100% payment on 8th Nov 2023. They also made 8% life time road payment to regional transport office through online on 8th November and i have receipt for same. Road tax has been revised on 9th November from 8% to 12% and showroom was asked me to pay the 4% difference tax to get the vehicle registered on 9th Nov. They paid the balance 4% to Regional Transport office and shared me the receipt. now my question is, revised tax of 12% effective from 9th NOV , whereas i made the payment on 8th NOV through online portal. so why i was asked to pay 4% difference tax on 9th Nov , why my registration was not done for 8th Nov @ rate of 8% .
when the revised rate of 12% tax is effective from 9th NOV whereas i made the payment of 8% on 8th NOV itself, then why i was asked to pay 12%
The payment of road tax alone does not suffice for processing a vehicle registration application. The procedure mandates the payment of road tax at the current card rate, along with other requirements such as vehicle insurance, fitness certificate, pollution control certificate, etc. The date of road tax payment does not serve as the date of registration. If a revision in road tax occurs during the application processing, the registration is put on hold until the difference in the revised rate is paid. This situation is not considered a deficiency or irregularity, and it does not invite litigation or legal action against the relevant authority.
You have to sort out your problem mutually and your payment if done on 8 th november then you can fight for the cause.
Payment of road tax is not only a single criterion for processing an application for registration of a vehicle in the buyer's name. As per procedure, until and unless a road tax at the existing card rate is paid, an application for registration of the vehicle is not processed that also requires insurance of the vehicle, a certificate of fitness, a pollution control certificate, etc. So, the date of payment of road tax is not considered a date of registration. When the revision of road tax is made effective in the course of processing of application unless the difference of revised rate is remitted, the registration of the vehicle is kept in abeyance following the revision. Therefore, neither it is considered a deficiency/irregularity nor attracts any litigation or legal action against the authority.
