When you are planning to buy a new car, what factors come to mind first? Is it the ex-showroom price, the features, or the road tax? Road tax is one of the key elements that contribute to the final price you pay for your car. While car prices can vary from model to model, road tax differs from state to state and can be a substantial part of the total cost.

Assam road tax

Road tax in Assam is a mandatory fee that car owners need to pay in order to use public roads within the state. The tax amount depends on the car’s price, engine capacity, and other factors like its age, type, and fuel. It is collected by the state government to help maintain and upgrade the infrastructure of the state's road network. When buying a new car in Assam, it’s crucial to consider this tax as part of the total cost of your car. Understanding how road tax works in Assam helps you better plan your budget.

Assam road tax calculation

So, how is road tax in Assam calculated? The tax is based on various factors, including the vehicle's weight, engine capacity, purpose of use, and more. Commercial vehicles generally pay higher taxes than personal vehicles. The car’s engine size, seating capacity, and dimensions (length and width) are important factors in the tax calculation. Larger vehicles such as SUVs and trucks are usually taxed more heavily. Additionally, vehicles with environmentally friendly features, such as electric vehicles, often receive lower tax rates.

For example, if you buy a new car that costs Rs. 16 lakh, the road tax would be 5% of the car's price. This means you could end up paying around Rs. 80,000 as road tax alone.

Does this sound like a hefty sum? The road tax can be a surprise cost when buying a new car, but with Bajaj Finserv New Car Loans, you can finance the entire on-road price, including the road tax. Find out how much you can borrow and plan your new car purchase with ease. Check your new car loan eligibility in Assam and take the first step towards owning your new car.
