BRTA registration and annual tax
There have been numerous claims against false registration of cars as well as yearly tax deposit. Despite the various measures adopted by the government, some unscrupulous people in different post offices have made their fortunes by resorting to fraudulent activities. Most interestingly, one can't detect this until & unless the person is going to sell his/her car to somebody else. During this sale /purchase, the owner of the car knows the actual picture as the buyer who checks the same with the BRTA authority finds that the seller has 4/5 years' registration fees unpaid. In fact the seller paid his dues to BRTA authorities through post offices on yearly basis but those amounts were never deposited!!
In view of this situation, a lot of people has suffered & had to pay twice with their hard earned money the yearly registration fees and tax.
Recently, the government has made it mandatory to deposit car registration fees either in bank draft or in pay order which should bring a sigh of relief to the owners. But it would have been better if the whole deposit process for BRTA can be handed over to some private commercial bank to save time & money.
