Pick the vehicle, fuel and price; the full rate table is below.
This is an estimate of the one-time lifetime road tax on a new private vehicle bought in this state. The RTO works it out on the cost it accepts, and registration fees, number plates, insurance, cess and other charges are extra. Rates change with state budgets, so check the RTO or the Parivahan portal before you pay. Nothing here is connected with any RTO or government office.

Karnataka also collects cess on top of this tax (commonly 11% of the tax, plus ₹1,000 on cars). It is not included here because we could not confirm it from the cess Acts.
