Getting vehicle NOC (No objection certificate)

During my employment I've worked in 3 different states and need less to say that I have always relied on my bike to commut to office. We all know the fear of being caught by traffic constable/inspector in the other state. But here is way, getting an No Objection Certificate (NOC) for your current registering RTO.

To safely (w/o being harrssed by cops) drive/ride vehicle registered in a different state, there are two method.

1. Carry fuel bills of a petrol pump located in your registering state. An ideal difference between two bills is 2 months. When traffic cops aks your bribe for outside vehicle first things to say "I can legally travel my bike fora year in another state without any NOC". I've said that got away, once I was caught. But even if he insits than show him the bills. He won't tough you.
(BTW, I was stopped 3 times by traffic cops and everytime got away but one thing was : all these cops noted down my registration number.) Those who don't know they actually report an outside vehicle to the head office so as to catch him after one year no-NOC grace period is over.

2. This is legal but tedious way, specially when you have a vehicle on loan. The cost of NOC is zero. yes. There is no fees and Police report is required if your changing the "state". After NOC you can apply for refund of tax (Form DT). In new state you need to file form No 33 for change of address to be recorded in the Certificate of Registration (RC). Once again, process is a bit tedious if there a loan. Agent cost is Rs 800 for NOC. One should forget refund of tax, as officers will make your run from piller to post (in case of intet-state transfer).

I would say, one should go for #1, a very simple and extremely cost effective way of living in different state. #2 for a car costs around 25 thousand (and for bike like 10K) and RTO can make your n number of rounds to office.

Happy driving/riding.
