Thane's Regional Transport Office has issued 150 penalty notices to out-of-state vehicle owners, targeting registration and tax violations. The crackdown aims to enforce strict compliance with transport rules, ensure timely payment of vehicle taxes, and verify essential documentation. According to Section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, vehicles registered in one state cannot be driven in another for over 12 months without re-registration in the host state.
Owners bringing an out-of-state vehicle into Maharashtra must submit the necessary details within seven days of arrival. The special inspection drive, led by Regional Transport Officer Hemangini Patil, involves checking vehicle usage duration, assessing the need for re-registration, and confirming payment of applicable road taxes under the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Tax Act.
Offenders will face penalties as per existing laws. All vehicle owners are advised to familiarize themselves with Maharashtra's transport regulations, complete re-registration where necessary, and pay their motor vehicle taxes on time.
