Most Indian states charge road tax as a single, one-time percentage of your vehicle's ex-showroom price (the price after GST, before any dealer discount is applied) at the time of registration. The percentage rises in slabs — a costlier vehicle attracts a higher rate, not just a higher rupee amount. Three states — Gujarat, Chandigarh and Jharkhand — are exceptions and calculate the tax on the pre-GST invoice value instead, which works out lower.
Electric vehicles get a rebate almost everywhere, but the size of that rebate varies a lot and is changing quickly — Karnataka, for example, ended its full EV exemption in April 2026. Treat every number on this page as a planning estimate, confirmed on Parivahan before you commit to a purchase.
