The fine print

- WB Additional Tax and One-time Tax on MV Act 1989, Schedule IV Part 1A, read from the department's consolidated PDF (consolidation labelled 'amended up to 2012'; later-amendment check still owed)
- Registration fee (central)
- 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

- 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.
- West Bengal also offers a renewable 5-year tax at 5.5% with lower floors instead of this lifetime figure; quotes elsewhere may silently use either.
Confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.
