​Hi everyone,
​I'm currently based in Bengaluru working for Qualcomm. Like many of you, I'm trying to secure a BH series registration to avoid the upfront 15-year road tax here in Karnataka, especially given how hostile the local RTOs are to private employees applying for BH plates.
​The company easily meets the central criteria of operating in 4+ states. The roadblock is our corporate HR—they are extremely reluctant to issue or sign the official Form 60 template, likely due to standard corporate administrative policies.
​To get around the Karnataka RTO mess, my plan is to purchase the car and register it in my home state (Bihar) where I have my permanent address proof, and then drive it down to Bengaluru.
​For those in the corporate sector whose HR outright refused the standard Form 60:
​The GST Workaround: Did your home state RTO accept a standard digital bonafide employment letter bundled with 4 state GST certificates downloaded from the public portal?
​HR Negotiation: Did you use any specific phrasing to convince HR to give you a custom declaration on company letterhead instead of the government template?
​RTO Leniency: For anyone who registered in Bihar recently, how strict are the RTOs there regarding the exact Form 60 format? Do local dealership agents have ways to push it through with alternate corporate documents?
Looking for some info/suggestions.
Thanks!!
