Worth knowing before you sign
- The step from the X-Line Diesel AT to the GTX(A) Diesel AT crosses Tamil Nadu's ₹20 lakh line: ₹32,000 more ex-showroom, but ₹46,400 more road tax, because the whole price moves from 18% to 20%.
- The HTE Diesel MT is ₹2,30,860 more on the road here than the HTE Petrol MT, and ₹34,920 of that is Tamil Nadu's road tax.
- On the Kia Seltos HTE Petrol MT, Madurai is 3rd dearest of 25 states: ₹1,67,250 over Arunachal Pradesh and ₹8,320 under Karnataka.
Which Seltos to buy
HTX to HTX(A) buys you as much for your money as any paid step up this ladder. Another step asks exactly the same per rupee, so which of them you take is about which trim you want to be on. In Madurai that step costs ₹1,30,900 on the road, rather than the ₹1,10,000 the showroom prices suggest.

The fine print
- Road tax (18%)
- TN MV Taxation Act 1974, Third Schedule Part I as substituted by the Amendment Act 2023 (L.A. Bill 33 of 2023, gazetted 11-10-2023), read from the gazetted text
- Road safety tax
- TN MV Taxation Act 1974 section 3-B and the Sixth Schedule as substituted by section 6 of the Amendment Act 2023, read from the gazetted text on 2026-11-03: 'ROAD SAFETY TAX. New Motor Vehicles', Light Motor Vehicles Rs 2,250. The document is the Bill as introduced (L.A. Bill 33 of 2023, gazetted 11-10-2023), so the figure is primary while its being in force rests on reporting that Act 30 of 2023 commenced 08 or 09-11-2023, corroborated by the Third and Fourth Schedules of the same substitution clause being in force exactly as drafted. The Act as passed is requested as tn-act-30-of-2023. Some aggregator breakdowns still print the pre-2023 Rs 1,500 and others print Rs 2,250
- 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.
- The Rs 2,250 road safety tax, charged once when a new car is registered, is included in every figure here. Tamil Nadu waives road tax on an electric car bought before 2028, and nothing published says whether that waiver covers this charge too, so an electric buyer may pay Rs 2,250 less than we show.
- Some price breakdowns for the state still show this charge at Rs 1,500, which is what it was before the 2023 change to the state's tax act. We use Rs 2,250 because that is the figure the state's own gazetted schedule prints. If your RTO still collects the older amount, your total will be Rs 750 less than this.
Confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.
