Road tax

Dear Sir,

I work for an IT company and shifted to chennai from delhi in february 2015 due to a job change.My job requires me to shuttle between places all over India. Since my car is of Delhi registration and the lifetime tax is already paid for; my question is -

according to the motor vehicles act, how long am I allowed to drive my car in another state without changing the registration number and/or without paying the local state road tax?

Also, is there any provision for paying a temporary local state road tax for a limited period of time?

Thank you in advance

Generally the NOC will be valid for six months on such issues within which you should arrange for transfer to the present place of residence/working. Make enquiry from RTO office and get your job done at the earliest to avoid complications in this regard in the later stage.
