What will happen if I don’t pay Road Tax (or Life Time Tax) in Bangalore?

Answered on May 20,2018
As per the Karnataka Motor Vehicle Act 1957, if you bring your vehicle from home state to Bangalore, you need to get it re-registered and pay life time tax within 11 months from the date of arrival in to Karnataka State.
After this period, you may get penalized for not paying the road tax (or Life Time Tax). In some cases, your vehicle papers might get seized if you are caught driving a vehicle without paying Road Tax.
Following documents are required to pay Road Tax in Bangalore
- Registration certificate of the vehicle (Copy of RC Book).
- Invoice copy of the vehicle.
- Valid Insurance Copy of the vehicle.
- Address proof (optional,just in case).
- NOC is required .
- Form No. KMVT14 (If the vehicle is from different state)
- Local address proof (Any one from the following list)
- Aadhar Card
- Passport
- Nationalized Bank Statement/Pass book
- Own house Electric Bill
- Ration Card
- Voter Id
- LIC Bond
- Own house agreement
- BSNL Bill
- Rental Agreement with Notary Seal and Electric Bill
- Rental Agreement with Notary Seal and Gas bill
- Letter from HR and Company Id

Rtd Motor Vehicles Inspector, Insurance Surveyor and Accident Investigator . Answered on November 14,2020I have a TN registered Yamaha RX 135. I had got an NoC in 2015 to shift to Bangalore. Now, the RC expired in June 2015 and bike continues to be in Chennai, unable to be renewed as RTO says I need to cancel NOC in KA. I would like to know which option is better and cost effective ? a) Receive NoC cancellation from KA (Fine ? ) and renew RC in Chennai b) Take bike to KA and apply for Re-Registration with Old NoC - expecting hefty fine, Road Tax etc. (Fine per month post NoC expiry would help) Limitation : In Chennai, unable to get PUC with invalid RC
Get "not registered" letter from KA and TN RTO only can help you in this issue.
