The fine print

Road tax (10%): Kerala MV Taxation Act 1976, Annexure I item A, as amended by the Kerala Finance Act 2023 (w.e.f. 01-04-2023), read from the MVD's consolidated Act. NEWER than most aggregator tables (pre-2023 9/11/13/16/21 still circulates)
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 (central): CMVR Rule 81, as amended by GSR 1183(E) dated 29-12-2016
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 road safety cess is what Kerala is reported to charge, not something we could read in a notification. Treat that line as indicative and confirm it with your dealer. Everything else is computed from Kerala's own documents, last checked on 7 August 2026. Rates change with state budgets, so confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.
