Re-registration of vehicle after 15 years
My vehicle had to be re-registered (Fitness Certificate)from the RTO Indiranagar.I went to the help center there and the gentlmen was gave instructions very briefly.Filled the form and alongwith the originals gave it to the superintendant in Room no 8,who after going through the documents and asked about the vehicle and asked me to pay the fees,paid the fees (took some time because of que)and again I came back to Room no8,the supptd was not to be seen,waited till 2 pm,the suptd came and asked me get the vehicle inspected by vehicle inspector.Vehicle Inspector perhaps was not impressed by my direct approach,went ahead with the agents to inspect other vehicles,I went to him again,he was inspecting a vehicle and that vehcle when asked to start would not start,so I immediately told him ,my vehicl is parked near this vehicle and it starts immediately,the agent was making signs for me to go away and the inspector was unhappy that i interrupted in his work but to show that all are equal for him,asked to start my vehicle and keep it running,I started the vehicle and asked the inspector to come to my vehicle,the inspector came after 5 minutes and said scratch the engine number and chasis number,I did not have a pencil,i asked the agent to give me a pencil,who told me to get that scratchin done from a garage/workshop (he was doing that for vehicles which had come through him).I could not reach for the engine number as it was heat due to idle running,I took it to nearby workshop and got the scratch done,came to the vehicle inspector who was still intrested to pass the same vehicle,which would not start.I showed him the scratch of the engine and chasis numbers and kept my vehicle in start condition,lights on /off,etc went on for some time and the agent asked me i am with whom,I replied 'with God',inspector signed after going around with my vehicle papers for Half an hour.Back to the suptdt,he checked all the documents again and told me take acknowledgement from the desk clerk.Desk clerk was very slow and finally gave the ack which asked me to collect my papers after 30 days.
After 35 days I went back to the suptdt,who directed me to the concerned clerk,who checked the documents and asked me for the insurance letter (which was with papers),fortunately,i was carying additional copy in vehicle ,gave it to him again he verified and he told me that the papers will be sent by regd post.I waited for 45 days more but the papers never came.
I went to the concerned clerk (a lady clerk was in place)a,who searched and found my papers and wondered why after 75 days also the papers have not been despatched.I casually asked her do i have to give any other paper,she just told me to come after one hour.After nearly one and a half hour I went back to the window the lady was not there,but came back after 15 minutes.Again I had to show her the ack,she brought the file out and started making all the necessary entries (which took approximately 5 minutes!)went to supdt and got his signature and handed personally to me after 75 days after applying without paying any bribe!
