I have driven my KA registered vehicle in Goa,Chennai,Hyderabad, Pune, Nagercoil, Kerala, Ooty, Coimbatore etc and not even once was penalised. In Hyderabad, twice I was stopped, but when I produced the papers they let me go. Probably because my Driving license is from Bangalore and the car is also registered in Bangalore in my name. So, that puts to rest any of the claims that I am using the vehicle in other states.

I keep commuting between Pune/Bangalore often and every time I visit Pune, I stay for a week or so.I keep the toll receipts as if they are my lifeline to avoid such harassment.

So, if you are planning to commute between Hyderabad/Bangalore and want to drive a KA registered vehicle, dont change your license address. Keep the car registered in Bangalore and with the toll receipts you can manage. There is a toll gate in Kurnool - Hyderabad and that should serve as a proof that you are visiting.

They say India is one single country. But when we go from one state to another, these cops behave as if we are from enemy nation.

You should be getting a refund from the place of your earlier registration. Please check that.
If you are transferred across 3 states in 6 yrs, you can't keep on paying tax in every state. There is a provision for refund from earlier state if you have paid in another state.

That High Court judgment pertains to entry tax on new vehicles & not road tax.

Now that is good news. But I wonder whether the RTO guys are aware about this or not.

P.S: Any idea where can I download this GO?

Shouldn't there be some uniformity of rules - how about those employed in private companies and having transferable jobs ?

Please remember the rules are made by Government servants, so the first thing that they do is try to save themselves. Others can take a hike. Hence this rule.
