More on registeration rules

[tsk1979]

Hi guys,
Need some info about registeration rules. Suppose i am residing in Punjab, and i buy a car from a karnataka guy which is registered in KAR. Now, i have address proof of punjab, so do i get the car to my home state and then get it registered there, or first i have to get owner name changed in Karnataka RTO and then re register in punjab?

u have go get the car reg. in punjab if u are going to use it there. the KA reg will be gone. u are the new owner with new PB plates

Off topic but what do the plates with a black background and yellow letters mean

well when you buy an out of state vehicle you need to get aa NOC from that state's rto where it is registered then you got to take the necessary forms and the NOC and can register it in your state where you reside. you have to pay the necessary taxes and charges.

khanak not too sure whether they are embassy cars or self drive taxis...need to check up on it.

ICE, the question is if I buy a Karnataka vehicle and want to take it to Delhi, then do I first get the vehicle transferred to my name in Karnataka and then take it to Delhi with NOC etc. OR should I take the vehicle to Delhi and get it registered and transferred to may name simultaneously...

Well commercial vehicle number plates have to be black on yellow background and private vehicles are black on white background. Previously it used to be yellow letters on black ground and white letters on black background respectively..

I am not sure if that Esteem was a commercial vehicle and had not renewed the number plate. The law had changed a few years back though...

no you don not register it in bangalore in your name. you take it to delhi and register it there in your name

Yellow letters on a black background = cars leased for self drive / taxis

Black letters on yellow background = public transport/ public hire taxi's where only professional drivers (ha!- supposed to take medical proficiency tests etc) can drive
