You'll need to re-register it in AP with an NOC from TS RTO.

A doubt to all:

Can the road tax paid in TS be transferred to AP to complete the registration?

In other states, all the vehicles that were registered before the bifurcation were left like that. Only the new vehicle have the respective state codes.

This 'AP' to 'TS' is just a money making gimmick and a sadistic method to satisfy KCR's Ego.

The real fun + confusion is yet to begin.

Then how is it going to be, do I need to re-register it in Andhra and then claim for refund from Telangana state. And I am sure there has been lot of confusion and also the contract for High Security Plates was supposed to be done by APSRTC/TSRTC. Their assets are still not divided yet. I have few doubts, how was this handled when other states were bifurcated, like Madhya Pradesh and Chastisgarh or Bihar and Jharkand.

I am afraid friend Anurag is wrong. If your Swift was registered before bifurcation then you need not re-register it and can use it in both AP and TS. Re-registration will be applicable only if you have a TS number plate post June 2nd, 2014. In other states like MP, UP and Bihar the same thing (no re-registration) was followed. Also remember, if you are moving from one state to another say Karnataka to Telangana all you need is a NOC from the RTO at Karnataka and a refund of the life tax (it diminishes with the years that you have used in Karnataka) and pay the life tax in Telangana, but no re-registration. No need to change the number plate. These laws are promulgated by Central Government and the collection of life tax is done by the State, the State amend laws at pleases. Please refer to my previous post about this.

Yes, its the principle of common law. You won't be liable if the law was made after the fact. However, for cars registered after the bifurcation, the law would require the registration change.

I doubt the above. The information I have from my friends who are from A.P is that the government there, is not in a hurry to /not very interested to change the registration policy. The district codes continue to be the same even after bifurcation.

So when there is no question of re-registration in the newly formed state of A.P, I don't think you need to pay road tax again.

It is OFFICIAL: All vehicles in Telangana to sport 'TS' Registration very soon.

Source link: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/c...w/47365160.cms

HYDERABAD: With all legal hurdles cleared, the Telangana government is gearing up to issue a fresh order to ensure that all vehicles plying with state code 'AP' on their number plates, sport 'TS'. As a result, over 50 lakh vehicles in Telangana will have to make changes in the registration (alpha-numeric) number.

As of now, only new vehicles are sporting the 'TS' state code. For vehicles registered prior to June 17, 2014, the state government had issued a preliminary government order (GO MS 3) calling for objections and suggestions on reassignment of the registration numbers.

However, the issue was put on the backburner after it triggered a huge controversy and a person even approached the Hyderabad High Court. Now, with all issues sorted out, and objections and suggestions incorporated in the new guidelines, the state government is preparing to issue a fresh GO for the final notification.

"All legal hurdles have been cleared and the government is in the process of issuing a GO for replacing the old registration number of vehicles. In the case of state code, motorists have to replace 'AP' with 'TS', while in the case of district code, it will be done only in cases where applicable. The existing unique vehicle number will remain unchanged,'' transport commissioner Sandeep Sultania told TOI.

It is learnt that all objections that reached the transport officials in the last several months were considered by relevant wings like law and others, and a fresh order would be issued based on them. Transport officials said that sufficient time would be given to motorists in 10 districts to make changes and seek new registration certificates (RCs) for their vehicles from the local RTA.

Based on 81-A of the Motor Vehicle Rules, the Telangana government had issued the preliminary GO to make changes in the registration numbers of vehicles.

"The government may, by general or special order, direct all registering authorities of the state in their respective jurisdiction to reassign the new number under the Act in place of the number already registered or assigned in AP series with AP group of letters in respect of all or any class of vehicles and also prescribe the manner and condition thereof, so as to bring conformity with the allotted group of letters assignment by the Government of India under Section 41 of the MV Act, 1988, in respect of state of Telangana,'' the earlier GO had stated.

Officials were in the process of working out the nitty-gritties of implementing the changes as the fresh GO might be issued any time. However, there is no clarity whether any fee would be charged for the switch as it had earlier been promised that it would be free of cost.

Thankfully I would only have to change AP to TS for my cars which are registered in Adilabad or Hyderabad.
I think these are the only 2 districts that have the same District number code before and after bifurcation.

Even if the government absolves the cost of getting a new RC.
I would still have to pay for new number plates.
It is better if the government ensures all RTOs get high security plates facility and time the change together.
At least that way most would be pacified.

As far as I know the state government uses the money collected for development of all the state owned roads including the state highways. The state governments would have to think of innovative new taxes to recover the money lost by going for a centralized system.
Also one needs to understand that road networks vary from state to state. That is why there is a difference in taxation structure from state to state.
Ideally they should collect tax on a yearly basis. So that when you shift states you simply pay tax to the new state from the next year onwards.

I am little confused. I just bought a Vijayawada registered car which bears AP16 series so was thinking how will it change.

Guess have to wait and see.

You can use the car in both states till 2024. That is 10 years after the state bifurcation.
Your car will sport the same number without any change.

[jetti]

Total lack of accountability. If I have paid road tax to the unified state, and the revenues and liabilities were divided to both states, I should be able to drive my vehicle in both states. That is the precedent followed till now.

[Abhi_abarth]

Does anyone have any clarity on the AP-TS vehicle transfers ? I have taken the NOC from Vijayawada RTA and need to transfer the ownership into my name which will be in a TS RTA. I will be going to the RTA this weekend but checking if anybody has gone through the process specifically after the state bifurcation.

P.S : The vehicle in question is a 2003 palio registered at Ap16 RTA.

Hi Abhi

Have you been able to complete the transfer without issues? Did you get any information from the RTA on what approach will be applicable if a vehicle registered in 2013 is brought to Telangana now from an AP district?

Thanks!

I couldn't go due to some incomplete documents but will be going very soon (maybe this weekend). Will update the same once back.

Apparently, the nativity certificate is not required for registration but is needed only if one reserves a particular number.

If we need to reserve a number what is the nativity certificate to be given? Last time we reserved a number was in unified AP and nothing was needed. Will Aadhar Card suffice as address proof.

We plan to reserve a number in RTO Attapur

As far as I know, reservation of number needs invoice copy of the vehicle. Proof of identity and address are any way to b submitted for registration.
