A Cuffe Parade resident, who questioned a car dealer's attempt to charge an additional registration amount for a BMW model that he had purchased, has secured a landmark ruling in favour of new car buyers. After the businessman tweeted about his case, transport commissioner Praveen Gedam has announced the cancellation of licences of car dealerships that overcharge buyers in the name of registration or logistics fee.

The Worli-based car dealer had initially charged an additional Rs 90,000 as 'logistics' fee for the BMW 5 Series that Sameer Javeri bought in August
