Hi all,
One of my colleague from Chandigarh came to Chennai 5 months ago for a project related work. He owns 2 year old i10.
One weekend near Mogappair(Chennai), A RTO happened to catch his car asked for RC and other necessary docs. He promptly showed him those. Here goes the twist. RTO said that he is suppose to pay Road Tax. He said it is 8% and calculated the value of car himself and ended up to a round amount of 32K to be paid. My friend argued with him saying that everybody pays the road tax while buying the car and it happens in one shot. He refused to pay and the RTO has taken the car to nearest police station.
I am quiet puzzled here with what RTO has done. Is RTO right? What should my friend do now guys? Need your suggestions please.
Cheers,
Marun
