Hello All,

Has anybody tried selling their BH registered car yet? What are the processes involved? Despite the GR, Pune RTO guys have no clue on the same. They are not even sure if they can transfer it to another BH eligible person or can convert it to normal registration.

If anybody else has tried doing this anywhere else, please share your experience and the process. There is too much confusion and no clarity given by anybody.

That's the biggest blunder of the BH registration implementation. Rule bought by centre, implementation by state. State RTO guys are happy with the normal state registrations and don't give a damn about the BH registrations. The helpline of Parivahan is another hopeless piece in the machinery. So basically the BH registered guys are stuck and isolated.

What you need to do is find an eligible buyer for the BH registered cars and try it online in Parivahan.

Looking for some help - how does the owner of BH car prove eligibility every time tax has to be paid (i.e. every 2 years) - is it by getting a new Form 60 from their employer, or are any other documents needed?

Has anyone owned a BH car for more than 2 years yet?

BH registration started in Aug/Sep 2021 so we may need to wait for few months to see how the renewal works.

For example, there is no way TN Finance minister Palanivel Thiagarajan is going to take this lying down, he has actually been talking of raising road tax percentage higher to improve state revenues. I expect the states will go to the supreme court over this, if it is really true, to obtain a stay from the central government unilaterally making such a move. As a large percentage of buyers can claim their employers have offices in more than one state (think about IT industry giants like TCS, Infosys etc. and the number of employees of these companies who buy cars, who could all technically qualify for this). The timing of the move actually looks dubious, when a state like TN is re-asserting itself politically and financially, and trying to bring in better control of its revenues and fiscal deficit. One of the moves they are actually considering is to raise peak road tax%.

Some rough calculation of gains/loss from opting for this scheme - these show the impact on buying a car that costs 50 lakhs ex-showroom. The first row is for a state that has 10% peak Road Tax Rate, the second is for state like TN which has 15% peak Road Tax rate and the last is for a state like KA with a 18% peak Road Tax rate. The savings do not even consider time value of money - if the future BH tax payments are discounted to present value, there will be an even larger saving in states with higher peak road tax rates.

Could you please help me understand why the initial BH Tax will be 3.5L? Shouldn't it be just 1L (7.5L for 15 years = 1L for 2 years)?

Guys, has anyone bought BH series vehicle in MH recently? Apart from sharing office address for multiple locations as Form60, they are also asking for GST number for each location citing some fraud.

Is this the norm in other states as well?

My company gave me the Form 60 with GST no. for all locations, though it would be submitted to the RTO tomorrow for the no. registration.

You can ask your company HR for the same, generally I have found the HR folks to be well informed and they generate the Form 60 as per govt. norms.

Yes, this is what is being asked for in MH RTOs. Earlier they were asking for GST copies too but since GST numbers can be validated online, now only GST numbers to be mentioned on the Form 60.

Has there been any change vide any circular? AFAIK the GST nos were only supposed to quoted if available and no copies to be provided along with Form 60. If you have a parent co with branches in more than 4 cities then you dont need to provide any GST details even on Form 60. If the companies are different than the parent company then only the GST of all companies need to be provided. Atleast this was the case in Jan 2022 when I got the BH registration done.

I guess the RTO guys are also evolving to the BH formalities.

It is a part of the overall process. The GST number is a proof of the employer indeed having different offices in 4 or more states. The Form 60 actually has the placeholder for the employer to furnish these details.

I own a BH registered car, hence sharing my experience.

An update here, got my BH no. allocated and assigned in 2 days from submission of documents and paying the Road tax.

The tax was calculated on the Dealer Invoice Price (Minus the GST). A simple way to calculate your tax is to multiply the Ex-showroom price by 1.5% and this would give you an approx. Road Tax amount which would be very close to the actual amount.

Dealers are normally collecting 2-2.5% of Ex-showroom price, but you should negotiate to 1.5% of Ex-showroom, In majority of the cases, the actual Road tax would be slightly lesser than 1.5% of the Ex-showroom and Dealer should refund the additional excess paid here.
