No offence, one can take the car anywhere. If you have noticed, temporary numbers are also done online via Vahan only. It has a validity of usually One month.

When we got our car delivered with a TR last year, its validity was 6 months. And the showroom said 6 months is the standard validity now.

Some dealerships say this, it's probably mentioned on the receipt too. But practically, traffic cops create problems. Haven't tried beyond Six months, so I mentioned - usually

Hi Folks,

Looking for advise here !

I took delivery of my FL Seltos IVT on 7th October.
Though I am based out of Gurgaon [HR98], Haryana but for a faster delivery I found the stock available with a dealer in Ghaziabad,UP and got the delivery from them on Temporary Registration.

Since, I am waiting for a Choice/Fancy number which has significance to me and the number got randomly registered to someone on 5th October [missed it by 2 days], I am still driving on Temporary Registration only.
Now as per Haryana State Rules I can get that number allocated to me out of queue with additional fee only from the current series or wait until next series is open. Current, it is "HR98M XXXX" and I have to wait until "HR98N" is open.

Meanwhile, we have paid the registration tax to the Haryana Authority also on 18th Oct and only Registration Number is pending [ I have a receipt from the dealer but I don't understand how is that possible ]

My Problem - I am due to travel to Rajasthan this week and not sure if I can drive with temporary registration ; and there have been mixed opinions on this with internet stating that temporary registration is valid for 1 month and dealer is suggesting that it has been revised to 6 months and you have paid the registration tax also, so need not worry.

Anyone with any knowledge in this case ? Thank you in advance.

Hi All, I'm planning to buy a car from a Hyundai dealer in Bangalore. I asked them to get the TR completed as I plan to register the car in another city, Pondy as I have an address proof - Aadhaar.
I made all the necessary payments as they demanded and now they are telling me that the RTOs in Bangalore are not giving TRs for Pondicherry. I have been running around for the past week along with the dealership guy to different RTOs, but everyone in the RTO is saying that they will not give a TR for PY (mainly due to them losing the road tax revenue). It looks like there were cases of high-end cars registered in Pondy in the past and they have come up with their own rule to not issue TR to anyone, especially if it's for Pondy.

I'm having sleepless nights as I paid the money believing that the dealer would get the work done and I see that they are just dragging it with no visible solution - It looks to me like they are hinting at paying additional money to get the work done, which I'm not willing to as they committed to get this work done at the time of booking and now they do not want to rub shoulders with the RTO team and try to put me in between to handle it by myself by paying money. Please suggest what I can do as the next steps to resolve this issue.

I think you are looking at buying a car at Bangalore and registering it in Pondicherry to save on the road tax difference. I’d suggest you to rather make the purchase at Pondicherry itself.

The temporary registration thing is working full swing in Gurgaon RTO (seen many cars bearing TR) because they have a huge demand for high end luxury cars. And the RTO offices have been made happy (read bribes) with the idea by dealers.

This is not a practice in other cities and you will face all the difficulties which you are facing.

In my analysis, the dealer just took a chance knowing that if things don’t work out with a temporary registration, then you will register it in Bangalore anyway.
