This query is : Resolved
My son had a car in Hyderabad bearing Regn No AP82CD4906.During initial registration a life time tax of about Rs 95000 was paid in Hyderabad.The car has been moved to Kolkata in December and reregistered at Kolkata by paying as per rules again a life time tax of Rs 50000 plus incidental charges.Accordingly new Smart Card was issued from Kolkata incorporating the change in address of the owner in Kolkata and new Smart Number Plate was fixed.
IMPORTANT POINT- But interestingly new Registration No bearing WB NO was not given and the Registration No REMAINS the same OLD AP82CD4906.
When the Public Vehicle Officer was asked about this he intimated that this procedure is maintained and after 6 months the new Regn No bearing WB No will be given which means again a fee for new Smart Plate bearing new registration no will be charged.
The problem is more as meanwhile car insurance has to be renewed,
1) With the old Regn No of AP82CD4906(WB NO NOT YET ALLOTTED) the Insurance Companies IN KOLKATA will mention in Renewed Policy Document the Regn Office as Ranga Reddy in AP and NOT Kolkata in West Bengal which will be some deviation from fact as Andhra Pradesh REGN OFFICES HAVE NOW NO CONNECTION WITH THIS CAR AP82CD4906,AS AFTER ISSUANCE OF NO OBJECTION CERTFICATE FOR INTERSTATE TRANSFER THE NEW REGN OFFICE IS KOLKATA AND NOT ANY AP OFFICE.
The Insurance Companies view is that their computer setting will not permit any AP No having registration office in Kolkata(probably their view is correct)
My question is whether after receiving life time tax of Rs 50000 again in Kolkata WHY THE NEW Regn No bearing WB No will be not be issued immediately and whether KOLKATA OFFICE CAN ISSUE Smart Card bearing Andhra Number.
With thanks intimating the remedial procedure.

New registration no need to be issued by kolkata STO.
They need to issue new smart card with driving license no.
Issue notice to STO for getting the same.

Registering Office may have such procedure. Insurance Company should have no objection.
However, use RTI to get exact information from the Transport office. You may also refer / discuss with local Agent dealing transport registration cases.
