Getting an NOC in AP

Today I had to get an NOC to transfer my bike from AP to Tamilnadu and thought I would put down the process for the benefit of those who might have to do it...

1. Make sure your insurance, RC book, pollution certificate and license are in order.

2. Go to the nearest e-Seva counter and get something called a Police Commissioner form (cost Rs. 10).

3. Fill the form completely and give the number of two of your friends or relatives who can vouch for you (they will call these numbers to verify the details)-make sure those friends know about this and don't end up disowning you when the call comes:). Mention the name of your nearest police station-those guys will be ones to give you clearance.

4. Attach xerox copies of your license and RC book and take it to an e-Seva counter, hand over the form and get a receipt. (Cost: Rs. 200).

5. In two days time, you will get a call from the police station asking you to bring the original RC book and the vehicle. Get these to the police station and they will ask you to fill another form-then give you the clearance (Cost: supposed to be zero, but could be something propotionate to your negotiation skills:)).

6. Finally take this form to the commissioner office (Lakdi ka Pul in Hyderabad) and hand them over (here vehicle is not needed). They will make you wait for ten minutes and finally give you the NOC:) and you drive happily ever after!!
