The ANHC S-AT costs 9,43,249/- on road in Goa and the same model costs 10,19,604/- OTR in Pune. A
difference of Rs. 76,000/-.

I have a Goa address too, but primarily work in Pune and spend a month in Goa for vacations. I'm
wondering on the cons of driving a Goa registered vehicle in Pune. Is it worth doing this considering the
76,000 saving ?

Please feel free to comment.

Thanks

Keep yourself updated time to time with the latest electricity bills/monthly maintenance/Goa Petrol Pump
bills/phone bills of the goa address whenever you go there. secondly, get a duplicate goa driving licence

You would have paid the road tax in Goa and will be driving in Pune. Usually, the police does not question
the white board vehicles (pvt vehicles), but even if they question white board vehicles, then you have to
be ready with the answer saying that you have come to pune only for sight seeing and not for staying
there. But if they dig deep into this, you may get caught.

Hi Friends,
Join Date: Jul 2012
Location: Pune Bumping an old thread !!
Posts: 131 Would like to know from Pune BHPians on using a car which is registered in another state ?
Thanked: 54 Times
Here is the deal:
I am planning on purchasing a Storme, and the deal is that we have a house in Baroda where my
parents are living currently.
The Tata dealer in Baroda is known to us and also the RTO and other costs come out to be substantially
lower if I buy the car from Baroda.
Ideally I would have skipped this option, however the period of our stay in Pune is not decided. There are
heavy chances that we might have to move out of Pune in another 6 - 12 months.
Plus we keep driving down to Baroda quite often. So it wont be very difficult to procure toll receipts and
Fuel bills.
My DL also has the Baroda Address.
Though I have been in Pune for quite some time now, I have only driven Pune Registered cars. So I do
not know what is the attitude of the traffic cops for out of state registered cars.
Need Advice from the team now !
Thanks !

If you are moving to Poona only for an year, then why to get into lengthy process of obtaining NOC,
paying tax and then obtaining new number (optional). many people from other states (including me) are
using there vehicles here, and police generally do not harass four wheelers and their drivers.

Thanks Shubhendra. But 1 year is the minimum what I am looking at. It might stretch to more. I had
read that the NOC granted is valid for 3-6 months ? You did not procure any documents whatsoever ?

Thanks. Yes I am also concerned about the VAT/sales tax recovery procedure if any. I couldn't find
relevant info on the website. I see the exshowroom prices have ~1K difference with Vellore being higher.
