- FADA has reported that MBOs acquire unregistered vehicles in bulk from dealers and resell them at discounted rates, higher than the prices offered through authorized dealers, without commitment to after-sales.
- These MBOs indulge in evasion of GST, income tax, issuance of fake / undervalued insurance policies, delivery of vehicles without registration / HSRP and helmets, resulting in revenue loss on various fronts.
- The Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Transport Commissioners of Mumbai & Delhi have initiated action against this illegal practice. Delhi Transport Department is taking stringent action against such outlets as well.
- FADA has urged all the two-wheeler dealerships to remain vigilant and report any instances of unauthorized purchases or sales to the appropriate authorities.
- The association has also written to SIAM, requesting them to raise the issue with concerned OEMs to amend their sales process, ensuring no supply of new / unregistered vehicles to unauthorized outlets.
