Car road tax in Ladakh
9% of the ex-showroom price
Petrol, diesel, CNG and hybrids 9%; the electric-car rule is not verified.
Ladakh's rates here are what it is reported to charge, worked out from published prices rather than read from its own schedule, last checked on 9 August 2026. Treat them as indicative and confirm with your dealer. The figures are for a first private car registered in your own name.
What Ladakh charges, by fuel
Road tax is the one-time tax a state charges when a new car is registered, worked out as a share of the ex-showroom price. It is most of the gap between the price you see and the price you pay.

- 9%
- 9% of the ex-showroom price.
- Electricnot verified
- Not verified
- Ladakh's current rule for electric cars could not be verified from an official source, so no electric car is priced here rather than guessed at.
The fine print
- Electric
- Neither source returned enough electric observations for Ladakh to establish a rate. Deliberately left unverified so the honesty gate refuses to price electric cars here rather than borrowing the petrol rate, which would be a guess about a concession
- Ladakh's rates here are derived from two published price sources that agree, not read from the state's own schedule, so treat them as indicative and confirm with your dealer.
Worth knowing before you sign
- On the Hyundai Alcazar Executive Turbo Petrol MT, Ladakh is 7th cheapest of 25 states: ₹87,060 over Arunachal Pradesh and ₹1,44,214 under Karnataka.

The fine print

- Derived 2026-08-09 from two independent sources. CarDekho Leh, 57 variants Rs 3.70L to Rs 48.69L, every one at exactly 9.00% with no band boundary and no fixed component. CarWale Leh fits 9.45% across 18 cars. Both sources return figures for Leh identical to Srinagar's, consistent with Ladakh having inherited Jammu and Kashmir's schedule on reorganisation in 2019. NOT read from any Ladakh notification
- 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.
