karnataka authorities have increased their efforts to target cars registered outside of the state. police officers and members of the transport department are shown in viral film punishing owners and impounding vehicles that have exceeded their allotted time. According to reports, cars that have been on the road for more than 11 months are being forced to pay the entire karnataka road tax right away.
A hyundai i20, a mercedes-benz GLC, and a mercedes-benz E-Class with the maharashtra license plate have all been the subject of recent enforcement operations. At first, luxury cars like Ferraris and Audis were scrutinized, but today ordinary cars are also subject to fines.
This crackdown is the result of two laws clashing. vehicles are allowed to stay in another state for almost a year under the Central Motor vehicles Act of 1988. However, a far tougher 30-day limit is enforced under the karnataka Motor vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Act, 2014, which causes uncertainty and anxiety among car owners.
Authorities are also looking into previous infractions connected to these vehicles. New penalties are applied if an entry in their records demonstrates that they overstayed. Vehicles are being seized by authorities when taxes are not paid. However, because of their frequent cross-border movement, registrations from TN-70 (Hosur) and AP-39 (Gajuwaka) seem to be exempt.
Any out-of-state car entering karnataka is required by state law to notify the RTO and get a No Objection Certificate (NOC). Unless the car leaves before then, the tax is due after 11 months.
Discussions about justice and inconsistent enforcement have been sparked by the drive.
