Importing Motor Car Into India

Consignees (Non Resident Indians/foreign nationals on employment) coming to India on Transfer of Residence for permanent settlement can import one vehicle. The vehicle should be imported into India within six months of the arrival of the consignee. In lieu of one motor car, one motor cycle can also be imported.

As per the new policy, only USED (car should be registered overseas in the name of the importer for a minimum period of one year) Right Hand Drive (RHD) cars can be imported under Transfer of Residence Concessions. In case a NEW / Left Hand Drive (LHD) car is imported, the same is liable to be confiscated or in rare cases, re-export may be allowed on payment of heavy penalties and fines.
