The State Transport Authority (STA) in Odisha has asked all the
automobile dealers to mandatorily display details of payment to be made
by the purchaser for each category of vehicle in their showrooms,
officials said.
In an order, the STA has directed that it is
mandatory for all the dealers to display details of payment to be made
by the purchaser for each category of vehicle on a notice board on a
conspicuous place in their showrooms that is clearly visible to the
customers.
The dealers have to mention on the notice board that
no extra payment will be charged other than the ones mentioned on the
display board, the order said.
All the charges, whether essential
or optional, must be clearly mentioned on the display board. For all
charges so taken, the dealer must issue a receipt, said the order.
The RTOs have been asked to inspect the automobile showrooms to ensure that they have complied with the above instructions.
As
per the order, automobile dealers cannot charge any amount from a
customer without giving a proper receipt. Also, the dealers cannot force
the buyer to get the vehicle insured with them.
The STA has
informed that starting January 1, 2022, the transport department is
issuing driving licence and registration certificate of vehicles in
digital mode. Resultantly, the fee of registration of vehicles payable
by the purchaser has been reduced from Rs 282 to Rs 140.
However,
it has been learnt that some dealers are not passing on this benefit to
the customers and are continuing to charge the earlier fees. Therefore,
this order has been issued, an official said.
It has been alleged that some vehicle dealers are charging extra amount from the customers who are buying two or four-wheelers.
The
government charges only registration and tax amount for new vehicles
and hence, distributors should charge only that and not take any extra
amount in the name of handling charges etc., the order said.
If
any dealer is found violating the order, action will be taken for
suspension or cancellation of the trade certificate of such errant
dealer, warned the transport authority.
