Today we(myself and my wife, Murali and Srini) were stopped by the RTO guys in Bannerghata road as we were travelling by Murali's Zen. They verified the docs and asked for the Road Tax(karnataka road tax), when we pay road tax in chennai... do we really need to pay road tax wherever we take our car... only god can answer these doubts... ok those things apart... we have accepted that murali haven't paid the road tax yet. Our RTO guy did refer some docs and said that we need to pay around 13K as the life time road tax and he wanted us to pay there itself, "on the road". When we said we don't have that much money.. and so we can pay later... they asked us to pay 10K or 5K then to pay the rest later within the week, the joke is they even asked us to leave some mobile set to them and pay the road tax and take the car :) then finally murali got frustrated and called his mama to get legal advice :). he asked him to pay the road tax and take the receipt, so he decided to pay the sum(13K on the road itself) and take the receipt... the drama ended after receiving the receipt from the RTO fellows after paying the whole sum.
I am not sure these things can happen only in India!!
The funda is murali and myself too wanted to go to a RTO to pay these road tax stuff... but murali thought this as a added feature of paying road tax "on the road" at a single go... but the story didn't end there... he has to go to RTO office and collect another receipt... hahaha...
but overall its a good experience... we had here in bangalore.

Hey Nepo! Welcome to the blog world? Are you in need of a mentor? You see I'm always there...
Your next assignment would be blog what happens at the RTO. I bet they would say you guys were cheated and the
"Road tax on the Road" guys where not RTO guys at all.
machi manikam, i know that you will be there to mentor me :).
we haven't gone to RTO yet, as murali has travelled its either myself or srini will go to the RTO and collect the so called receipt. will post the story once its done. Btw, the new experience for me is i am driving murali's car now :)
Man, if you can drive the car here in bangalore you can drive car in any part of the world. I was saying like, if you gotta drive here, you will develop lot of porumai within you(waiting at the traffic signals, jams, mess ups) or you will develop you BP here :)))
buts its good to have a car and go around, hihihi.
Read all your posts! Seems like out of so many things we have discussed in college,most are already in your blog - the pdy beach issue, this road tax comedy, etc! :)
