Maharashtra imposes road tax on all vehicles operating within the state, including those registered in other states. If a vehicle with an out-of-state registration is used in Maharashtra beyond a specific period, typically 12 months, owners may be required to pay road tax as per Maharashtra’s Motor Vehicles Act. Failure to comply can result in fines or vehicle seizure.
How is road tax for other state vehicles in Maharashtra calculated?
This road tax for other state vehicles depends on factors like the vehicle’s age, type, and fuel category.
- The tax amount is based on the original cost of the vehicle and its depreciation over time.
- It varies depending on the vehicle type (two-wheeler, four-wheeler, commercial, or private) as well as fuel type (petrol, diesel, CNG, or electric)
- The road tax percentage reduces as the vehicle ages, with newer vehicles paying higher tax amounts.
Importance of compliance and car insurance
Paying the applicable Maharashtra road tax for other state vehicles ensures hassle-free travel within the state and avoids legal complications. Additionally, vehicle owners must ensure their car insurance policy remains valid, as authorities may check both road tax payment and insurance status during routine inspections.
