Temporary registration
AI Assist
Summary
An owner can apply to the registering authority for a temporary registration, certificate and registration mark. It is valid for up to one month and is not renewable, except a bare chassis detained in a workshop for fitting a body or due to unforeseen events beyond the owner’s control may be extended on payment of prescribed fees. If the vehicle is under hire-purchase, lease or hypothecation, the temporary certificate must show the full name and address of the other party.
Example
Rohan buys a chassis and applies for temporary registration while a body is fitted. The workshop keeps the chassis for six weeks; the registering authority extends the temporary registration on payment of the prescribed fee. If Rohan had bought the vehicle under a hire-purchase, the temporary certificate would show the financier’s full name and address.
