Afaik auxillary/fog lights have been banned in Bangalore roads with some new rule coming in recently. Driving w/o shouldn't be a problem, I've friends who drive around in TN/KL vehicles. But yeah, cops may stop you for a chitchat when their coffers are dried up, or if it's month end xD

Hi guys

Is installing auxiliary lights in a motorcycle legal in Bangalore? Getting mixed responses from different sources. Also my motorcycle does not have a Karnataka registration so will this cause any issues?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I'm about to move to Bengaluru and wanted to bring my Bike. I have a few questions:
1. how many months can I keep my bike without NOC?
2. What are the process and charges of NOC?
2. or Should I buy a new/second-hand bike in Bengaluru?

Keep bike in Bengaluru without NOC

Software Engineer

I am planning to get my scotty to Bangalore which I am not planning to registered in Karnataka, since the re-registering cost goes to around 25k right from getting NOC from my state and paying road tax and other RTO stuff.
What do you folks suggest should be good? Is it safe to ride non KA registered vehicle after 11 months period? Or should I get it registered?

With the increase in no. Of cases of bike borne hooligans terrorizing folks in cars etc, is it advisable to keep pepper spray as well as baton in the car, and if it is used in such cases where someone feels threatened n scared for their own safety, would it qualify as a case of self defence or would it amount to battery/assault charges? I would also install a dashcam both on the front and back side.

Hi all, needed some advise on whether I can bring my car from Gujarat to here in Bangalore. Any NOC or any other document needed from home state?

Can we bring car from our home state to Bangalore

Software Developer

So recently moved to bangalore, I have my car back at my old place that I am planning to bring over here. 

Apart from this crazy job reservation trend I have noticed almost no cars from outside karnataka in Bangalore. (Atleast not of north) Are we facing discrimination on that front too?

Anyone here who owns a non karnataka registered car? Can you share your experience?

Hi

We are planning to open a roadside food stall in Bengaluru, it will be a makeshift roadside stall and will be operational for about 4-5 hrs per day.
Wanted to know what all licensing are required for such small stalls? Which offices do we need to take permission from, like Police, BBMP etc?
And, some people were saying that we would need to pay protection money to local mafia, is this true?
If anyone can point to me in the direction where I can get some information that would be really helpful.

Thanks

I am fulfilling the BH registration criteria, as my company is based in more than 4 locations. But dealers are saying that they cannot do a BH registration for the vehicle if I'm not a Central govt employee.

Even the Karnataka High Court has made it clear that BH registration should be allowed for eligible private sector employees.

Does anyone know if any car dealerships (preferably Tata Motors) are offering BH registration? Is there any other way to get it done (other state, online channels etc.)?

I'm curious if anyone has been able to register for a BH number plate in Bangalore or Tamil Nadu.

Hey folks, I've been thinking of getting back into cycling.
Would love to get into it with a group. Are there any groups or meetups for cyclists in Bangalore?
Any trails you people can recommend?

Hi 
I am from Madhyapradesh (M P) and I am currently living in Karnataka (KA). If I buy a car in MP i will be able to save around 1.5 lakhs. I want to understand if it is a good idea to buy a car in your home town and bring it to Bangalore. I know the theoretical challenges like I need to take NOC from MP and pay road tax again in Karnataka and do the registration here. 
I want to understand if traffic policy really troubles you in Bangalore if you drive a car from a different state and what are the consequences?

Saare bangaloreans fog light on karke chalte hai . They don't know when to use it. Difficult to drive vehicle with this.

Fog light by bangaloreans

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲

I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler.

Two wheeler expectations:
- comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight)
- okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲)
- low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒)
- as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L)
- likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola)

Please guide me peeps🙏

Which two wheeler should I buy?

What has been the general cost for 2 wheeler re-registration. How much time does it take. Is it a smooth process ?

My vehicle in particular is pretty old, so its either I am selling it off and buying a new one in Karnataka or just re-registering it and using it for another 2-3 years. 

Also what has been your experience of driving without re-registering if thats what you have done? (Northern states mostly)

What has been your experience of re-registering your vehicle to the Karnataka license plate?

Why aren't there Battery rickshaws in Bengaluru, they are very common in Delhi NCR, they improve last mile connectivity and also are cheaper to operate. Is there a regulatory reason for it?
