Home Articles Govt proposes new re-registration norms for vehicles moving to other states
KEY STORY
-
The road transport ministry has proposed new draft rules that will make it much easier for defence personnel, government employees and others shifting from one state to another to re-register their vehicles.
-
In a statement, the ministry said it is proposing a new system of vehicle registration, wherein allocation would be marked as ”IN” series and this will be on pilot test mode.
-
“This vehicle registration facility under IN series will be available to Defence personnel, employees of Central Government, State Governments, Central/ State PSUs and private sector companies/organisations, which have their offices in five or more States/Union Territories.
-
“The motor vehicle tax will be levied for two years or in multiple of two,” it said.
-
According to the statement, this scheme will facilitate free movement of personal vehicles across any state in the country upon relocation to a new state.
-
Station relocation occurs with both, government and private sector employees and such movements create a sense of unease in the minds of employees with regard to the transfer of registration from the parent state to another state.
CONCLUSION
-
The step comes in the context of several citizen-centric steps and an IT-based solution for vehicle registration taken by the government.
-
The draft rules have been placed on the website of the ministry for stakeholders’ comments.
