Kerala is set to flag its concerns over the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) rule for new registration ‘IN’ series for vehicles to ease the transfer of registration of vehicles from one State to another in case of relocation of the registered owner.

Now, an individual who has moved States has to re-register the vehicle to the State she/he has moved to after 12 months.
