I have purchased second hand TOYOTA ETIOS 2016 Model Car with Regn. No. KL60T5214 from Kanhangad in the Month of June 2025. We have checked and confirmed that there is no amount pending to be remitted at either MVD or Police Department. We got RC with ownership change. But recently i.e. month of November 2025 RTO Kasaragod blocked the vehicle for want of payment of pending conversion tax for Rs. 46,910/- for the period from 2022-24 dated 20th January 2025.
This is purely injustice against the new owner of the vehicle.
Actually the tax should have been collected before transfer of the vehicle from the previous owner Shree ABBAS IMRAN S/O IBRAHIM, NEW KALAI, MALLANGAI, MANGALPADY POST 671324 KASARAGOD or it should have been blocked before transfer of the vehicle since this pending remittance related to the period 2022-24
So hereby humbly requested before the court for justice.
 
Hello @FLAMINLANCILRODRIGUES

We have carefully reviewed your complaint against Regional Transport Office (RTO), Kasaragod, Kerala.

As per your submission, you purchased a second-hand Toyota Etios GD (2016 Model, Reg. No. KL60T5214) in June 2025 from Kanhangad. Before completing the purchase, you verified and confirmed that there were no pending dues with either the MVD or the Police Department, and the RC was successfully transferred to your name.

However, in November 2025, the RTO Kasaragod blocked your vehicle citing a pending conversion tax of ₹46,910 for the period 2022–2024, which pertains entirely to the previous owner Mr. Abbas Imran. The blocking order itself is dated January 20, 2025 — prior to your purchase — yet this liability was neither collected from the previous owner before the transfer nor was the vehicle blocked at the time of ownership change, which is a clear administrative failure on the part of the RTO.

As a new owner who conducted due diligence before purchase, holding you liable for dues that predate your ownership is wholly unjust and amounts to a deficiency in service by the RTO.

Before filing a case at e-jagriti.gov.in, we strongly suggest you first send a formal Legal Notice to:

The Regional Transport Officer
Regional Transport Office, Kasaragod
Vidyanagar Post, Kasaragod, Kerala – 671123

Sending a registered legal notice often compels the opposite party to respond or settle before the matter reaches consumer court.
