I never knew having a car is a miserable experience. I wanted to transport my car from chennai. I have a ford Ikon bought a year and half ago.

I enquired if there are any policies on drving my own car in hyderabad. Pat came reply from my colleague, boss, take care of the entry tax and road tax. I asked him what are they?

Seems, any car from outside the AP region has to pay road tax and entry tax. he scared the hell out of me saying i need to pay 21% in total.

for people in hyd money is not at all a point of discussion. I have spoken to couple of hyderabadis about money and they speak 1 lakh as 1 re. I admire their capacity but gets scared with people like this.

anyway, after lots of delibrations and talking to many people i have been told that it wud be only 9% (9% of 400,000 = 36000) . And the only is costing me around 36000. I dont know who told that money is not grown on trees. I can bring my car legally only if money grows on trees or someone pays me charity.

Still waiting for my car transportation and deliberation of whether to bring it or not.
