Hi guys,
Posting on TE after very long time .. i shifted to Navi Mumbai last year and working here now.. Currently i am staying in a rented flat and thought about getting a vehicle here..
Now once i finalized about it and asked agents whether i can buy vehicle based on the address proof i have ( Lease agreement and electricity bill ), they said RTO does not accept non registered agreement as address proof .. It is notarized and police NOC verified but not accepted. The electricity bill is not on my name but society's name. So it is also not accepted..
Since registration of agreement is optional for 11 months period , this RTO policy seems to be just a way to get more bribe, as they are saying if i pay 4-5k i can get two wheeler registered based on it .. I said no for it.
After asking many agents they said that i can get LIC policy / mobile bill as address proof. My other documents are already on my permanent address and dont want to get them changed.
Now i have applied for LIC policy but it will take time to get that, approx 1-1.5 months. Will get postpaid connection address changed to show the bill as address proof. But this process will take long time..
But the stupid thing is that based on same rent agreement i am able to get other documents made, why the RTO cannot accept these documents directly
Anyone has idea for any workaround ? Is bank passbook also accepted as address proof by RTO ? some agents said its accepted so i have got another account with this address ..
