When you're planning to buy a new car, it’s important to consider various factors like the car’s features, ex-showroom price, and most notably, the road tax. Road tax is a necessary payment that car owners must make to use public roads, and it is collected by the state government. While car prices can differ significantly, road tax is also variable across states, and it can have a substantial impact on your overall budget for purchasing a new vehicle.

For instance, in Madhya Pradesh, road tax is a crucial factor in determining the final cost of your vehicle. The higher the road tax, the more you’ll need to adjust your budget when planning your car purchase. But what if you could make this additional cost more manageable?

Madhya Pradesh road tax

In Madhya Pradesh, road tax is a mandatory fee that all vehicle owners must pay to legally use the state's public roads. The revenue generated from road tax is vital for the development and maintenance of the state’s road infrastructure. Road tax is calculated based on several factors such as the vehicle’s price, engine capacity, and type. These tax rates differ from state to state, and in Madhya Pradesh, the road tax can significantly contribute to the overall cost of your vehicle.

When purchasing a new car in Madhya Pradesh, it’s essential to factor in road tax in addition to the ex-showroom price. The road tax rate varies based on the fuel type—whether the car uses petrol, diesel, or CNG—and is an important consideration for your overall budget. Understanding how road tax is calculated can help you make more informed financial decisions when buying a car in Madhya Pradesh.

Madhya Pradesh road tax calculation

The calculation of road tax in Madhya Pradesh is influenced by various factors such as the vehicle’s weight, engine capacity, age, and its intended use (personal or commercial). Heavier vehicles generally incur higher tax rates, while older vehicles may attract different rates due to concerns about emissions and environmental impact. Commercial vehicles also typically face higher taxes than personal vehicles.

Other important factors include the vehicle’s seating capacity, engine size, and its overall dimensions, such as length and width. Larger vehicles, like SUVs, trucks, and other heavy cars, usually incur a higher road tax than smaller, lighter vehicles. Additionally, fuel type plays a significant role, with eco-friendly and low-emission vehicles often benefiting from lower road tax rates.

For example, if you purchase a new car with a 1000 cc engine capacity priced at ₹7 lakh, the road tax could range from 5-7% of the car's price. This means the road tax could vary from ₹35,000 to ₹49,000.

Does this seem like a significant addition to your overall car cost? While road tax can sometimes be a surprising additional expense, what if you could simplify the process by financing the road tax along with the other costs of your car?

With Bajaj Finserv New Car Loans, you can finance your entire car purchase, including the road tax, all within the same loan. Curious about how much you could borrow? You can check your new car loan eligibility in just a few clicks and take the first step toward owning your car in Madhya Pradesh.
