As many as 2,259 outstation vehicles have been registered with the Pune Regional Transport Office in the last 18 months. Information technology (IT) professionals and students usually prefer to bring their vehicles along with them. However, a large number of people are unaware that they need to register their vehicle with the Pune RTO.
Majority of the IT professionals do not get time over the weekdays and they are also not aware about the process of paying the road tax and how to get their vehicles registered with the Pune RTO.
Rishi Bhardwaj (40), who is working with Amdocs, said, “I came to Pune four years ago. I was finding it tough to commute in the city, therefore I had to get my car from Delhi. As we have time only on weekends, I could not get it registered with the Pune RTO.”
Ramchandra Dhage, police inspector (traffic branch), Pune city, who moved from prosecution to administration recently, said, “The vehicles that come from other states have to get registered with the Pune RTO in 30 days. However there is no way we can know when the vehicle comes to Pune. There is nothing much we can do about it.”
He said most of these are IT professionals. As per the law they should take out time and follow the rules if they know they have to be in the city for more than 30 days.
Nitin Kulkarni, an RTO employee who deals with transfer of vehicles at the Pune RTO, said, “There has been an increase in the number of outstation vehicles registered in the last 18 months with the Pune RTO.
“Once all the documents are submitted to us, we send the documents to the RTO where the vehicle is registered. The entire process takes 60 days.” he added.
