According to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, a person is required to re-register their vehicle within a specified period of time if they change their address to a new state. However, there are certain exceptions to this rule, including for defense personnel.

As per Section 47(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, a person who is a member of the armed forces and is posted to a new state is not required to re-register their vehicle immediately. They have a period of one year from the date of their posting to re-register their vehicle in the new state.

During this one-year period, the person can continue to use their vehicle with their existing registration number. However, they must notify the registering authority in the new state of their change of address within 30 days of their posting.

After the one-year period has elapsed, the person must re-register their vehicle in the new state. Failure to do so may result in penalties and fines.

It is important to note that the provisions mentioned above may vary from state to state. Therefore, it is advisable to check with the local transport authority in Kerala to confirm the specific requirements for re-registering a vehicle upon retirement.
