I recently bought a Triumph Street Triple RS from Triumph Whitefield (Khivraj, Bangalore).

The bike was originally invoiced in my brother's name because we were planning to register it under the BH series. He works with South Western Railway, Mysuru Division, so we went through the BH eligibility verification process at Mysuru RTO.

However, the RTO required employment verification from his DPO, and the BH registration route is no longer feasible for us. I've now decided to simply register the bike under my own name with a normal Karnataka (KA) registration.

The problem is:

The invoice has already been generated in my brother's name.

Full payment was made almost a month ago.

GST/taxes on the sale invoice have already been accounted for.

The bike has not yet been registered or delivered.

The dealer says their cancellation policy only allows invoice cancellation within 7 days.

Since that period has passed, they say the invoice cannot be reversed or transferred to my name.

I spoke to the General Manager of Triumph South as well, and he also said it cannot be reversed, but I haven't received a clear answer on whether this is a Triumph policy, Khivraj policy, or a GST restriction.

I'm not trying to cancel the purchase. I want to buy the same bike, but have the invoice issued in my name so that I can register it in my name.

If they absolutely won't change the invoice, the fallback seems to be registering it in my brother's name and subsequently transferring ownership to me, but that would make me the second owner and potentially affect resale value.

Questions:

Has anyone faced a similar situation with Triumph/Khivraj or another dealer?

Is a 7-day cancellation/reversal policy standard for vehicle invoices?

Is there actually any GST restriction preventing the dealer from reversing the transaction and issuing a fresh invoice to a different purchaser after 7 days?

Has anyone successfully got a dealer to make an exception in a similar situation?

Would you recommend going ahead with registration in my brother's name and transferring it to me later?

Looking for practical experiences/advice, especially from people who have dealt with vehicle invoice changes in India.

I am applying for a BH registration via my brother since he is a central government employee. He works for Indian railways in Mysuru. The RTO officer mentioned that he would need a mail from head office (presumably DPO/Sr. DPO) confirming his employment. Can this sub help me find someone who can fast-track this process?

I can DM more details if necessary.

Already bought a bike from Triumph Bangalore. I was planning to get the bike registered in my brother's name because he is a central government employee in Mysuru and is eligible for BH registration. Went to Mysuru RTO but they are being very restrictive in approving the documents. They have mentioned that they will send a mail to my brother's head office to get the confirmation of employment.

Since this is a communication happening between two government organisations, I don't expect this to conclude soon. Been waiting for the bike for the past 3 months and this is the final hurdle I am facing.

I have heard that it is possible to apply for BH registration in Mumbai for a private sector employee whose offices are present in 4 states. I belong to that category. Can someone help/confirm if it is possible to register my bike in Mumbai?

Went to Mysore RTO for BH registration as my brother is a central government employee. The documents required for it were known to be working certificate (form 60), aadhar as address proof and employee id card. But it looks like now they are additionally asking for something called service certificate. The RTO officer and none of the employees clearly specify what that certificate is and what is the accepted format.

Alongwith it, now they are sending a mail to corresponding head office to confirm about the employment. Not sure if anyone has faced this kind of hideous process and how much time is it expected to be approved.

Was supposed to get my bike delivered sooner but dealer mentioned that the RTO is down and are unable to proceed with registration. Is anyone else facing the same issue? Have seen multiple post about the portal being down recently, and this is annoying.

Anyone here who got a contact with rto mysore west? Need help with BH registration. My brother works in central government job and we want to register a bike. We are unaware of the process and thought someone who has some connections with RTO might be able to help.

Booked the bike on April 14, but have not received any update about it. The dealer is unaware of the status. Apparently they can only provide any update once it reaches India or Bangalore.

Thought the ARAI issue was sorted so not sure what is causing the delay now.
