Refund of Road Tax from Hyderabad RTO

[NavinSaran 0]

Subject: AP life tax paid on the Vehicle being No. UP-15U-9998 on 08-12-2006 amount of Rs.31,570/- (Thirty one thousand five hundred seventy only)

 

Respected Sir,

 

I am a resident of Meerut, UP, my husband in the month of March, 2006 was posted to Hyderabad on a project by his employer for a short term.

 

We own a Wagon-R car Registered at RTA, Meerut in my name. The said vehicle is brought to Hyderabad since it would be comfortable for transportation within the city. On 16-11-2006 the RTA, Hyderabad issued a challan (No.1852212) and raised demand to pay AP life tax. We had informed the RTA authorities that our stay at Hyderabad would be for a very short period and therefore the payment of AP life tax is un-warranted for which the RTA forced to pay the AP life tax and stated when the car is taken back to Meerut the remaining unused part of the AP life tax would be returned after deducting the used portion of AP life tax.

 

Having no other alternative we paid the AP life tax on the Vehicle on 08-12-2006 amounting to Rs.31,570/- wide DD. No. 118176 dated 06-08-2008 of ICICI Bank and Payment receipt No.m3/1045544.

 

On completion of assignment at Hyderabad, the car was taken back to Meerut and RTA was requested for refund of the un-used portion of AP life tax.

 

On 05-05-2008 we submitted a letter to the Joint Commissioner & Secretary, RTA Khairatabad, Hyderabad stating that the car is shifting from Hyderabad, AP to Meerut, U.P., and requested to refund AP life tax after deducting the used portion of life tax. RTA did not refund the un-used portion of AP life tax, Instead we were advised to submit proof of vehicle returned back to home state. RTA, Hyderabad demanded the proof of vehicle being present in Meerut (U.P.) hence the vehicle was produced before the RTA, Meerut.

 

On 22-08-2008 the RTA Meerut on verification of the Vehicle issued a certificate informing that the vehicle has returned to Meerut which is the original place of registration and said certificate is produced before the RTA, Hyderabad on 10-09-2008. The same letter was received by RTA, Hyderabad on 15-11-2008. Even after receiving the said request letter the RTA did not refund the un-used portion of AP life tax.

 

On 10-02-2009 Vehicle was brought to Mumbai, Maharashtra and 1 year tax paid duly wide receipt no. 076269. We have been abiding lawfully and respectful towards taxations laws of states.

 

We request you to guide us getting refund of the balance amount of AP life tax paid after deducting the used portion of AP life tax.

 

Thanking You,

Truly Yours,

Richa Saran W/O Navin Saran

Just remove the Guidelines part and that long explanation letter, as well as authority letter.

There is no need for those.

Only the RTI application as king for information need be given.

 

In e) of your application change the period from 05.05.08 till date of the application.

 

Application fee has to be as per the AP RTI rules.

If court fee stamp is allowed in those rules, then it is OK.

[smbhappy 633]

In addition do the followingL

 

01. If Court fee stamps procured from AP and affixed it is okay. If you are posting Application from out of state, it is better pay by postal order,

Just forget about using email with any Government office.

You have sent your RTI application by Speed Post.

Track it online on the Indiapost website and when it is delivered, take a printout of the delivery status.

That will be your proof of delivery.

[smbhappy 633]

Emails are not going to serve any better purpose. Just forget about them. Start counting 35 (5 days for postal delivery) from the date of dispatch of your RTI Application with fee. You must hear in this period. If you don't hear anything, the matter is for complaint to IC as well as First Appeal to appellate Authority. Just Start putting your shoes together, for that eventuality.

Hi!

 

I had sent my RTI request to RTO Hyderabad more than a month ago. The RTI application was received by RTO hyderabad vide Registered AD on 16th July 2010.

 

Now how to proceed further?

 

Pls guide.

 

Thanks & Regards

The PIO has 30 days from the date of receipt, to provide you the information you sought.

Wait till 25 August, to provide for postal delays, etc.

 

If you still do not get the information you sought, then this can be termed as "deemed denial" of information.

 

You have to now file First Appeal to the First Appellate Officer.

A draft for such a first appeal for deemed denial is available here: http://www.rtiindia.org/forum/attachments/ask-rti-query/2057d1272605984-regarding-final-settlement-central-govt-employee-general-first-appeal-deemed-refusal-information.doc

 

Use it after modifying it to suit your requirements.

Hi,

 

I have been gearing up for filing an appeal as there has been no response to my RTI application sent on 14.07.10.

 

I have few queries:

 

1. I had filed RTI application against Public Information officer Jt. Commissioner RTA, Hyderabad (PIO), Who is competent authority as 1. First Appellate Authority (FAA), 2. Public Authority (PA ) to whom i have to address my complaint. Pls provide Name and address.

2. There is a column which says "11. Personal Presence at hearing:YES / NO" what should i mark yes or no. if No then do i need to niminate a representative?

3. In application guidlines "13. Periodically visit website of Commission for tracking progress of your complaint. Normally it takes 6 to 24 months for decision depending upon efficiency of Commission." My queries to this guideline is 1. How do i track the progress of complaint. 2. Does it really take 6 to 24 months or 2+ years to get a response on filing a complaint.?

Thanks & Regards

Richa/Navin

1. Just see page 50 onwards of this document: http://www.aptransport.org/html/right-to-information-act.pdf

(Actually read the full document - you might find some more valuable information).

 

2. Personal hearing is not necessary. Specially in your case where it is a simple case of deemed denial of information.

 

3. Those guidelines refer to Complaints or Second Appeals only.

A second appeal has to be filed if you do not get a order from the first appellate authority within 45 days of filing first appeal.

Thanks for your support.
