Pune: RTO suspends trade licences of 11 automobile dealers for delivering cars without registration Came across the following NEWS article on Pune mirror yesterday. As per the article, Pune RTO took action and suspended licences of 11 dealers for delivering new vehicles without registration process. The dealerships were sent show-cause notices. As satisfactory responses were not presented, licences were suspended for a period of 7 days, from 13th July.
I might be wrong, but I find it quiet amusing that the article published on the supposed date of expiration of those suspension order. Unfortunately, my dealer is also in the list and this caused my car registration process delayed by one good week. This compels me to think, exactly whom RTO penalized .
The dealership did offer me to get the delivery without registration. But, I stuck to the fact that delivery only after registration process. Now, the dealer was capable in hiding the fact that, they have gotten themselves suspended. They informed me there is a delay from RTO side and I accepted it largely due to tremendous reputation that Pune RTO carries.
My point is, if I would have gotten the car without a registration, I would have enjoyed the new car and got my registration done after 15 days. Now, just for my eagerness to follow law, I am without a car for 15 days. I seriously doubt any impact on the dealers, but for sure law abiding citizens are penalized.
I, though support penalizing dealerships for not following law, but the genius minds at our RTO raised my respect by messing up the whole matter again.
Curious to know what BHPians think about this. Quote:
The Regional Transport Office (RTO) has suspended trade licences of 11automobile dealers in the city for rolling out vehicles without valid registration numbers. The move was initiated after complaints started coming in about vehicles hitting the roads without even temporary registration numbers. The dealers were earlier issued show-cause notices after which their licences have been suspended, said the officials.
The dealers were found delivering vehicles from luxury cars to auto rickshaws and two-wheelers without registration numbers, not even temporary ones. The trade licence of these 11 defaulting automobile dealers has been suspended by the RTO for a period of seven days. The action against the dealers has been taken by the RTO under section 44 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989
