        Hi everyone,

        I am planning to buy a Volkswagen car in Mumbai, for my background me and my wife lives in a rented home and we have all the paperwork.

        The dealer said that a bribe of 12 thousand needs to be given in the RTO office because it requires a transfer from office at least once.

        Is the bribing common to get BH number

              Bribing is not common at all. Just visit a different VW dealer and iirc you can ask for delivery from the initial dealer. Or just bring out random anecdotes like some other competitor offered BH registration at no extra costs.
              I remember one guy doing the same(making the booking at a different dealership and PDI and delivery on a different one. ) and the initial dealer was fuming(as he wasn’t able to make a sale from his showroom) while the guy happily took delivery.

                    1. Employment letter
                    2. gST of 4 states

                    If you have these and are still being asked for a bribe l, please cancel booking and approach another dealer

                    I got my car registration under BH while sitting in rural rajasthan and getting things done over the phone in delhi

                    P.s. mine was honda

                        Moreover the RTO is very strict about documents (revenue loss) in BH cases and even police are careful dealing with you if you are travelling in rural or semi urban areas because BH is a novelty thing to them and they too are afraid of the unknown

                        Ex. In my case of rural/semi urban rajasthan, in a radius of 200km,there will be only 30 odd bh vehicle and they all belong to people in government departments so police generally avoid them or are just curious to know you.

                          Is this MH 02 RTO? If yes, that RTO called me to the office on Monday because I submitted a digitally signed form 60 which is perfectly acceptable. Maybe to ask me for some bribe. Will update here on what happens.

                                    Update: I guy checking my papers gave them to me and went somewhere. I took the papers directly to the Dy RTO and he said there was no problem with my paperwork and said I will get the number by tonight. Dodged a bullet there. The rto was chill and didnโ€™t ask for any bribe but i think the guy who have me papers was. The face of the guy was so sad when I told him that DY RTO sir said there was no problem with my paperwork.

                                  If the objective of BH plate is to lower potential costs of moving to other states, be aware that BH Registered Vehicles Subject To Motor Vehicle Tax As Per State Law; Centre Canโ€™t Prescribe Tax Rates as per Kerala High Court order[source](https://www.livelaw.in/high-court/all-high-courts/bh-registered-vehicles-subject-to-motor-vehicle-tax-as-per-state-law-centre-cant-prescribe-tax-rates-kerala-high-court-280546)

                                          Not a lawyer but I recently made a BH car purchase in VW showroom in Pune. Didn’t have to give any bribe.

                                            RTO offices are the most corrupt offices in any state. Dont give a penny to them extra.

                                              I bought a VW car from Mumbai itself last year, no bribe was asked from me for BH number plate.

                                              The dealer just asked for the required documents and the fees which was required for registration. The process went quite smoothly for me.

                                                  I have been asked to give a transfer letter along with the required documents, is it mandatory to have a transfer letter to get BH number series?

                                                      I was required to provide Form 60 which mentions that Iโ€™m working in the organization and the organization has offices in four or more states/UT.
                                                      They require the entire address of the offices located in other states along with GST number mentioned in Form 60.

                                                      Transfer letter was not a criteria for me.

                                                      RTO offices are corrupt, but usually dealers are cowards encouraging them to get bribe, don’t pay and ask the dealer to move forward without bribe, if any harrasment report to cpgrams

                                                        It is quite uncommon. I got it from odisha, one of first state to implement BH. It still runs smoothly. Though RTO are calling for physical presence once now after some fake people got BH registration. In my case the RTO guy just asked me a few questions about my job and in 2 min it was over. Done and dusted

                                                          The dealer is probably asking for himself.

                                                            Same here, i have booked slavia, now dealer is asking 4.5k extra for bh registration.

                                                            This is ridicules, middle class people save money and buy anything after playing all the taxes and even after paying car tax, now they need bribe as well to do their work.
