But then, Friday was 28th of March and Saturday the 29th. Both days were close to March 31, which is their target deadline. And since it was a weekend, a lot of vehicles will move out of town as well.

so does it mean the madness is over now that we are in April?

I'm planning a road-trip from Hyderabad to Mysore, want to avoid any possible hassles.

You should be okay. Just get an emission certificate and keep all toll receipts

Not necessarily.

A quote from the link:

"Transport department officials have even formed a special squad to keep a vigil on owners of vehicles registered outside, but plying on city roads without paying tax. "

I shall be there no more than 8-9 days; that too mostly in Mysore. Bangalore is on the way, hence I'm worried; I don't want any cop hassles with wife and kid.

Checking is still pretty intense on Bangalore roads. Though no more barricading and stuff but yesterday noticed a RTO van along with a RTO Officer & two Traffic cops near JD Mara (Bannerghatta Road) & today as early as 6:00 am few cops doing checks in Malleshwaram area. But the drive to target the non KA registration cars seems to have died down as all the while I was driving my friends TN registered car all over the city 24/7 without being bothered any where

This drive was carried out with a single point agenda of meeting the year end target as there was a drop in the number of new vehicles being registered in KA.
I guess they must have attained the target.

Thats probably related to election. The EC has ordered strict vigil on "cash for distribution" being transported in private cars.

True, this Monday I was stopped on the Mysore - Bangalore stretch (near Mandya) by the EC department.
The whole unit with 2 officers and some assistants with even a videographer capturing the flagging of vehicles, number plates of the stopped vehicles and filming the boot/luggage compartment.
Of course they were very polite and mentioned clearly what they are doing and what all they want to check with our co-operation.

The irony is they were stopping only the SUV's and big sedans. All buses, tempos, ace, hatches, etc were not even flagged

Buddy , that is with the election regulations. They are simply flagging down vehicles all over India, I presume. I was riding to Kerala. It was happening all the way from Bangalore to Kerala , happening very randomly though. They are looking for cash transport during the election I think

^^^^ I also remember reading in some website that some TN party member made the statement to his voters "we are just letting 1% of the money get caught in highways, to save the remaining 99% which will be definitely distributed to you loyal supporters"

Guys,

I decided to pay LTT for my 2002 MM540 4wd - KL regd , intended to be used in Bangalore.

Procured the old original invoice copy with the help of KL - Mahindra regional office team.Today carried RC,Insurance,Emission and invoice copies to Bangalore North RTO.Cabin no 6 , 3rd floor - non transport division declined to take tax with out NOC.

Met Senior Motor vehicle inspector.He was very polite and courteous.Worked on the RTO tax chart with vehicle invoice/RC and given @ 55% rebate on the vehicle cost.

LTT for my 2002 4wd MM540 in karnataka was calculated to be 22276/-.

Now happy motoring..

@Rajith: will you be getting a refund on the tax paid in Kerela? And is the rebate a constant rate or does it vary with the resale value of the car? A 2008 Honda Accord for example?
