Pune Builder Gave Rs 2.5 Crore Porsche To Teen Son, Left Rs 1,758 Unpaid
The Porsche involved in the car crash in Pune on Saturday, in which two techies were killed, had been out on Pune roads without a number plate for months.
The registration of the luxury sports Porsche Taycan, worth Rs 2.5 crore, was pending as the owner had not paid a Rs 1,758 fee, officials have said.
Maharashtra Transport Commissioner Vivek Bhimanwar told news agency PTI that the electric Porsche car was imported in March by a dealer in Bengaluru and from there it was sent to Maharashtra after a temporary registration.
“It was found that a certain registration fee was not paid and the owner was asked to pay the amount for completion of the procedure. However, the vehicle was not brought to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) for the registration process after that,” he said.
Officials said it was the responsibility of the owner to get it registered.
Road tax is exempted for electric vehicles in Maharashtra, so the registration of this vehicle was on Rs 1,758 – Rs 1,500 hypothecation ..
