BH series Number but Andhra Pradesh RTO asking for payment of road tax in state

Dear Client,
As per the mandatory provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and M V Rules, 1989, once a new vehicle is sold and a tax invoice is raised in a state, that vehicle is required to be registered with the Registering Authority/RTO under whose jurisdiction the vehicle is sold or bought by the Buyer. To avail the benefit of another state, you cannot escape from your statutory liability applicable under the Act. Once the vehicle is registered with the concerned state where it is sold/bought, you can apply for re-registration of the vehicle in another state or your home state in compliance with the statutory formalities and on payment of the requisite fees to the concerned RA under whose jurisdiction the vehicle is plying. So, the claim of the RTO of VISAKHAPATNAM, AP is reasonable and justified so far as the provision of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and M V Rules, 1989 are concerned. So, there is no option feasible for you to retaliate against the issue, and accordingly, you have to comply with the instruction of the notice of RTO, Visakhapatnam, AP.

Dear Client,
The situation regarding your car registration and road tax issue with Andhra Pradesh RTO is complex but can be addressed with a strategic approach. According to Indian laws, particularly the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the rules regarding interstate vehicle registration and taxation, there are provisions for the BH series registration allowing for mobility across states without requiring re-registration. However, some states may interpret this differently, especially concerning payment of road tax. Given your transfer to Visakhapatnam and the purchase of a car there with BH series registration from Lucknow, you initially complied with the legal framework. To resolve this, gather all documents related to your car purchase, BH series registration, and communications with the RTO. Challenge the notice by formally appealing to the RTO, citing the relevant provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act and any supporting legal precedents. If necessary, seek legal advice to draft a strong response or challenge the notice through appropriate legal channels.
