Calculate vehicle road tax
Road tax varies by state, calculated on ex-showroom price or engine capacity. Rates: 5-15% of vehicle cost, higher for larger engines and diesel vehicles. Some states charge one-time, others charge annually.
No, road tax varies significantly by state. Maharashtra: 7-14%, Karnataka: 13-18%, Delhi: 4-12%, Tamil Nadu: 8-15%. This is why on-road prices differ across states for the same car.
If you relocate permanently (keeping vehicle >12 months), you must re-register and may owe the difference in road tax. Some states have reciprocal agreements. Re-registration is required within 12 months of relocation.
Electric vehicles often get significant exemptions (0-5%). Some states offer discounts for women owners, differently-abled persons, or vehicles used for charitable purposes. Check your state's specific policies.
Generally, no refund on one-time road tax. For states with annual tax, you may get pro-rata refund for unused period. Road tax transfers with the vehicle to the new owner within the same state.
