Hi Dimers,
  I am planning to buy my first bike RE Meteor 350 which on road cost is about 2.70lakh.
  And the same bike is available in army or military canteen for 2.00lakh.
  Can i buy through army canteen..
  
  Note:-
  
  -> No one from my family is in army so I "ll be using friend card. Can I do like this ?
  
  -> If I buy via there bike ownership would be in their name so how or when can I transfer it on my name?
  
  -> Any extra info if you guys can provide
  
  
  Other suggestions like bike or any points to be kept are welcomed.
  
  
  Thankks

Bike will be on your friends name as canteen will not allow selling items to person other than card holders.

Just go ahead, and Grab it.

And don't forget to get ownership transfer paperwork signed from him as soon as you get delivery of vehicle. Sale letter/form 29/ form 30 etc etc.

Keep date column empty or keep those documents post dated(3months/6months).

you can, however there is minimum time before it can be transferred on your name which is either 2 or 5 years

he will not loose his job, just check if there is some minimum condition to transfer ownership or not

I don't think it is a crime to drive a friend's bike if the friend is taking the risk.

But I do think that there is a 4 year restriction on transferring.

You can purchase and drive as long as your friend agrees to handover his bike to you. There is no harm if your friend is comfortable with you riding a bike registered in his name. But actual ownership can be transferred only after x years.

Value of X can be determined from Canteen (CSD).
