Though there are many topics spread all across the forum on intra-state movement and registration by members, I thought of starting a new thread on my experience since it has been a major turning point on how I take my life.

I moved to Hyderabad on 16th September 2008, since I already heard about the "strict" RTAs I did my home work and found the details on it.

11th November 2008 - I contacted a MVI (Motor Vehicle Inspector) referred by someone to pay the tax, he wrote a challan and a demand note for paying 8% tax of the invoice value (which was around 5 lakhs, so the tax was around Rs.40,000), he assured me that the tax will be refunded if I plan to leave the state before one year provided I get the NOC from the NOIDA RTO.

13th November 2008 - I got the car here and pasted the photo copy of the receipt on my windscreen so that the on road checking becomes quicker

19th January 2008 - Got the NOC from NOIDA

4th February 2009 - Contacted the RTO of my area (Ranga Reddy District) on how to process the refund (just wanted to know the info, no refund claim was intended), the officer informed that it won't be possible before I get the car registered in AP, and when I take it back to UP claim a refund here, I thought "That would be easy...I have NOC from NOIDA RTO, all I need is a few stamps from the bank (my car in on loan) and I will be all set

First Half March 2009 - I visited every saturday to the Citibank hyderabad office to get the documents signed, but was turned away with some or the other excuse, mentioning some for the community here :
1. The concerned officer sits in Chennai, so we will have to send the
documents there for stamping
2. We cannot find the stamp, etc etc

Finally got the papers from the bank, took them to the RTO only to realise that the bank had put in incorrect stamp,

Second Half Of March 2009 - Went in getting the right stamp

7th April 2009 - Went to the RTO officer for approval, next he asked me to get the car inspected at a location 15 kms away from this office

8th April 2009 - Went for vehicle inspection, the inspector was on leave

9th to 20th April 2009 - Went to north on vacation, to spend time with parents and in-laws

24th April 2009 - Got the car inspected and submitted the papers, no help from anyone, had to trace the chassis number myself, had to buy a pencil for the trace

27th April 2009 - Checked on the AP transport website that my vehicle number is updated there (still UP number but now in their records), but with incorrect fuel type, color and model details, went to the inspection office in lunch time the guys there directed me to the RTO office in Attapur (around 20 kms from home, 15 kms from office)

28th April 2009 - Met several guys all gave different information, finally met the RTO who told me to visit a counter, stood there for 30-40 mins with the guy showing no interest in getting my work done, finally out of shame he asked me to leave the photocopies and told me that he will do it after he is done with the rest of the work, I trust him and leave for the day

29th April 2009 - Checked again online with no changes at all, went to the attapur office again in lunch time to get the task done, the same guy again busy with other people (rest guys were paying him Rs.10 to deposit the taxes), I politely said that I will wait (1.30 pm), at 2.30 pm he tried correcting the info but failed due to lack of knowledge, 3.00 pm he got up and started leaving for lunch ignoring me, I catch him and tell him that I too was standing there without any lunch, he makes a face (feeling hungry) and left, by this time the pressure inside me was at its max, I reached RTO's cabin and told the entire story of 2 days, he asked someone to get my task done, the guy was knowledgeable and made the changes, though as I write this thread the changes do not reflect on the website (may be it takes time for the data from various RTOs to get uploaded on the central database)

Will keep you guys posted on this story....
