Hi
i am Planning to Buy a Honda CRV
i am From Keral(calicut) and working in Bangalore

the Bangalore On road price is More than 20Lk
and in calicut it is around 18.5lk

i will be using the car in both the cities

so if i buy from kerala the is ther any problom for me to use the care in bangalore?

On-road price of Honda CR-V 2007 (2.0 2WD) in Calicut is Rs.18.79 lac & in Bangalore Rs.20.42 lac - a difference of Rs.1.63 lac.  Ex-show room price is same (Rs.17.20 lac) at both places but at Bangalore RTO is 1.62 lac more & Insurance Rs.0.01 lac.

In the given situation, you should buy & register your car at Calicut.  As such, it is also logical because you reside there.  Regarding using it in Bangalore as well, there is no harm - you can always provide evidence that you reside at Calicut & visit Bangalore frequently for office work.  There isn't restriction on using private cars in other cities/states.

Edwin,

As Pankaj said, it really makes sense to register a car in city of your residence. It's cent-pecent legal too. As far as difference is concerned, Karnataka charges the most road-tax in the country.

Two-wheeler experience is much different than that of a car. Even in Bombay, sometimes it seems that riding a bike is utter crime. People riding bicycles are more respected.

Please read this on a lighter note (

Looks like i should be shifting to some other state and then only buy a new car. Being in Bangalore to pay highest road tax, end up getting a raw road deal and finally getting to crib at every available opportunity!!

And fully agreed on the bicycle part. I think i would be buying one soon. Advantages:

• No fuel expense (except water/juice for rehydration)
• Extremely minimal maintenance charges
• No time lost in traffic jams
• No problem finding parking place
• Eco friendly with no emissions
• Inexpensive ownership experience
• Unlimited modifications possible
• 24x7 free AC availability (no climate control though ( )
• Could be converted to a 4 seater if 2 bicycles coul dbe put together

This would no doubt be the next generation vehicle. One which appeals to everyone (on health reasons too!!). Cheapest & most efficient Mass/peoples vehicle.

Great sense of humour you have.  Thanks a lot

Thanks. But i guess if things do not improve in Bangalore (which looks the case as there is no govt as of now and probably till Feb end) the day is not far when we woul dbe looking forward to buy high end bicycles!!!

Hey guys.. This was the only thread I found in all my search efforts with rto tax information.. Helped big time..

I wonder if it would be possible for everyone to contribute the registration charges for their states here so it would be a one-stop referral for anyone wondering what the various charges are..

I work for Volvo Cars, Pune (Planet Exklusiv). We cover Maharashtra and Goa (except Mumbai) but also deliver to Gujarat and MP.

Maharashtra regn charges are as follows:

Passenger car upto 10 lakhs: 7%

Passenger car  10-20 lakhs: 8%

Passenger car above 20 lakhs:9%

Company/Corporate regn: Usually 2x (confirmation needed)

CBU import: 2x above rates, no diff individual/co regn. (Volvo S80 and XC90 have 18% RTO in Pune, 16% in Kolhapur.)

Octroi: 4% in Pune. 2% Pimpri-Chinchwad.

Goa: 6% for individuals / 14% for corporate regn + 12.5% entry tax if no dealer within state.

Be the change you want to see.
