West Bengal Road Tax

Have you ever wondered why a vehicle costs different when you see it in a showroom as compared to the selling price? Well, it is because of the numerous taxes imposed on the vehicle by the state government. These taxes are a key source of revenue for meeting state expenditure. Same is the case in West Bengal.

Under Section 39 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, all motor vehicles in the state of West Bengal are subjected to on-road taxes mentioned by the state and central government, registration charges and cost of vehicle insurance. When you purchase a vehicle, there are always two prices in consideration - on-road and ex-showroom. Usually, the on-road price is 10% more than the ex-showroom price. Therefore, always remember that when you are buying a new car or bike, you will be charged state VAT, central excise duty and central sales tax.

A motor insurance is mandatory for every vehicle registered at West Bengal RTO as per The Motor Vehicle Act, 1988.
