Q. Are road tax and registration charges separate in RTO Bill? I have received road tax, insurance, plastic number plate charge and RC copy quoting sale price of the scooter. I do not know about registration charges. Can you please confirm?

Yes, Registration is mandatory for every new vehicle. It is the unique identity of the vehicle. Registration charges are the cost to get the vehicle registered. Registration charges differ from state to state. Within a state, it differs based on the cost of the scooter, type of scooter whereas the road tax charged on vehicles in India varies from state to state. Some states charge it based on the cost, while some others charge it based on the engine capacity.

I bought it in 2017, Delhi. My bill only mentioned registration charges (300rs), postal duties (30-50rs), taxes (3000rs). Insurence is done separately. Yes, it is quoting the factory price of the scooter. A dealer makes around 10k/scooter.
