[Resolved]  Rto Office K. K Nagar Chennai — Road Tax-Bending of rules by Officials

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I bought my 2nd hand 2009 model Alto car from Kerala to Chennai along with all papers and NOC from Kerala Police. From the TN RTO website, it was clearly stated that for temporary visitors Annual Tax for 750-1500kg vehicle i.e, Rs 800 could be paid. Now it is May 2012. I took the NOC from Kerala Police on Dec 2011. I came to Chennai 1 and half months back. When I was planning to pay the Annual Road tax, the RTO caught me on road, and has confiscated the RC book and License saying that I have to pay a non-refundable Life time Tax of 8.5% of Car Value(they say approx 3.25 lakhs for a 3 yrs old Alto). When I notified the clause of Annual Tax from their website, they are stating, the website information is old and no such rules exists.
Now I am planning for a transfer from Tamil Nadu to Kerala/Karnataka, and I am forced to pay lifetime Tax for the next 2 months. Legally I am ready to pay Annual Tax for my vehicle.
The RTO Office contacted was at KK Nagar,Chennai
