The fine print
- Road tax (10% electric-car rate)
- 5% base rate read from the Act itself (Finance Act 2020, item 7B); the 8% and 10% bands above Rs 15 lakh are the 2025-26 budget change, press-reported pending the Finance Act 2025 text
- Road safety cess
- Kerala Road Safety Authority Act 2007 cess, doubled to Rs 200 for light motor vehicles from 01-04-2023; amounts press-reported, notification not sighted
- Registration fee (exempt for electric cars)
- CMVR Rule 81, as amended by GSR 1183(E) dated 29-12-2016
- TCS (1%, adjustable against your income tax)
- Income-tax Act 1961 s.206C(1F) from 1 June 2016, and from 1 April 2026 s.394(1) of the Income-tax Act 2025 at the same rate and threshold (renumbering reported, not read from the Act); creditable against the buyer's income tax
- Third-party insurance (3 years, incl. 18% GST)
- Motor Vehicles (Third Party Insurance Base Premium and Liability) Rules 2022, G.S.R. 394(E) dated 25-05-2022, as amended by G.S.R. 32(E) dated 05-01-2024; both gazettes read from egazette.gov.in. PA cover per IRDAI circular IRDAI/NL/CIR/MOTP/158/09/2018
- Personal accident cover (1 year, incl. 18% GST)
- Motor Vehicles (Third Party Insurance Base Premium and Liability) Rules 2022, G.S.R. 394(E) dated 25-05-2022, as amended by G.S.R. 32(E) dated 05-01-2024; both gazettes read from egazette.gov.in. PA cover per IRDAI circular IRDAI/NL/CIR/MOTP/158/09/2018
- The Rs 15 lakh owner-driver cover is mandatory; this prescribed rate is what most insurers charge for the annual form.
- FASTag
- Tag cost only. Issuers add a deposit and minimum balance; dealer bundles commonly total Rs 500-600.
- Comprehensive own-damage cover
- Not in this total. Lenders require it and most buyers take it, but it has been market-priced since 2007 and varies widely with insurer, cover value and no-claim bonus, so an honest single figure does not exist. Budget for it from real quotes on top of this total.
- Battery-rental EVs (battery leased separately) pay 10% regardless of value; not modelled. Kerala is also reported to have revised its electric rates in the 2026 Finance Act, which we have not been able to read yet, so this tax line is the last figure we could verify rather than today's. Confirm it with your dealer, especially above Rs 40 lakh, where the reported change is upward.
