25

This represents the district or region code where the vehicle is registered.

1234

Tax Calculation Formula:

The BH-Series Motor Vehicle Tax is calculated based on a specific formula set by the Government of India. Here's the breakdown:

(Invoice Price × Applicable Tax Rate × 1.25 × 2) ÷ 15
  • Invoice Price: Total cost of the vehicle as per the official invoice.
  • Applicable Tax Rate:Determined based on the price slab and adjusted for fuel type (Petrol, Diesel, or Electric).
  • 1.25 Factor: Represents 25% extra charge applied on the base motor vehicle tax.
  • × 2: As BH tax is paid for an initial block of 2 years.
  • ÷ 15: Divides the overall tax for 15 years into manageable blocks (aligned with government norms).
  • Rounding: Final amount is rounded up to the next whole number.

Example: For a Petrol car with invoice price ₹9,50,000 and 8% tax rate:
(9,50,000 × 8% × 1.25 × 2) ÷ 15 = Estimated 2-Year MV Tax.

Tax Payment Guidelines:

  • Initial Payment: Under the BH-series registration, Motor Vehicle Tax is paid for a period of 2 years or multiples thereof (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.), instead of the traditional one-time long-term payment.
  • Fourteenth Year Onward: After the completion of 14 years from the date of vehicle registration, the Motor Vehicle Tax is to be paid annually at the rate of 50% of the original BH-series tax amount.
  • Cross-State Movement: Vehicles registered under BH-series are exempt from re-registration when moving across different states or union territories in India, ensuring seamless relocation without additional paperwork.
  • Tax Refund (if applicable): In case of early sale or transfer of the vehicle to another state, or conversion to a regular registration, a proportional tax refund may be available based on unused tax duration.
  • Online Tax Payment: Motor vehicle tax for BH-series vehicles is payable online through the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) Parivahan portal, reducing the need for physical visits to RTO offices.
