Subject to sections 42, 43 and 60 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, an owner resides in a particular State and normally keeps the vehicle there. Which registering authority may register it under the current section 40?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 40 of the Motor Vehicles Act allows registration by any registering authority in the relevant State of residence or business where the vehicle is normally kept, subject to sections 42, 43 and 60. The 2019 amendment expanded the authority choice and the 2026 amendment replaces the awkward local-jurisdiction words with a State connection. A particular local office is not mandatory.
