The fine print

Road tax (17%): Karnataka MV Taxation Act 1957, Schedule Part A5; read from the department's 2020 schedule compilation AND the Part A5 re-enactment in L.A. Bill 12 of 2026, which agree
Cess on the vehicle tax (11%): Department cess page: '11% CESS on Vehicle Tax is payable' (infrastructure plus urban transport); statutory sections not re-read
Transport workers' welfare cess: Karnataka MV Taxation (Second Amendment) Act 2024, published as Act 03 of 2025; act text not sighted, compliance-summary level
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
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.

Confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.

Where these figures come from

One figure here is weaker than the rest: the transport workers' welfare cess is what Karnataka is reported to charge, not something we could read in a notification. Treat that line as indicative and confirm it with your dealer. The cess on the vehicle tax comes from Karnataka's own pages rather than the notifications behind it. Everything else is computed from Karnataka's own documents, last checked on 7 August 2026. Rates change with state budgets, so confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.
