Mizoram Road Tax

A hilly terrain, rich culture and picture-perfect landscapes define the mesmerising state called Mizoram. Its challenging topography makes the construction and maintenance of roads difficult.

However, the Mizoram State Government has left no stone unturned to connect even the remotest villages to state or national highways. While the Border Roads Organisation also plays a crucial role in improving transportation infrastructure, the state government makes sure that these efforts reach the remotest of villages, ensuring seamless connectivity.

To manage the costs associated with maintaining existing roads and constructing new ones, the state government levies road tax in Mizoram on all vehicles registered in the state. The revenue thus generated is used to boost connectivity and infrastructure in Mizoram. RTO tax in Mizoram is thus used for improving transportation infrastructure in the state.

On this page, you can find details on Mizoram RTO tax, its calculation, and how you can pay the tax in a hassle-free manner.

What is Road Tax?

State governments are responsible for ensuring that the state highways and other roads in the state are maintained optimally. They are also responsible for constructing new roads and infrastructure needed to boost connectivity in the state.

To manage the costs associated with these activities, state governments are allowed to charge road tax on all vehicles registered in the state.

Every state can define its rules and tax rates for road tax. Some states might offer a one-time road tax payment at the time of registration, while others might offer annual road tax payment options.

You can visit the website of the transport department of your state for details on the same.

Motor Insurance in Mizoram

As a vehicle owner, you are required to have a minimum of third-party liability insurance for your vehicle in India. A basic third party insurance plan offers protection from third-party liabilities arising due to an accident involving the insured vehicle.

However, third-party policies do not cover damages to your vehicle. Hence, many people opt for comprehensive car insurance or bike insurance based on the vehicle they own. With the right bike or car insurance plan, you can get coverage from various factors that can damage your vehicle while protecting you against third-party liabilities.

Tata AIG’s comprehensive two and four wheeler insurance plans are designed to help you get the best protection at an affordable cost. We understand the importance of settling claims quickly and have maintained a high claim settlement ratio over the years.

Further, our support team is available at any time of the day or night to help you get answers to your queries or assistance in filing a claim.

If you look at the on-road price of a vehicle, then it will include the ex-showroom price, registration charges, insurance premium cost, and road tax. In many states, road tax is taken as a one-time payment for 10-15 years and is not optional for new vehicle owners.
Make sure to talk to the dealer to understand if road tax is included in the on-road price or if you would be required to pay it separately.

Q2. What is the difference between registration and road tax?

Registration is compulsory for all new vehicles. It is the process through which you record the details of your vehicle with the state authority and get an identification number for your vehicle. This allows the state to keep track of your vehicle’s taxes, charges, and other aspects.
Road tax, on the other hand, is a tax charged by the state government on all registered vehicles. Once you register a vehicle in a state, you can freely use it to travel to any corner of the state for any duration.
To maintain the roads and transportation infrastructure, state governments levy road tax on all registered vehicles.

Q3. Are vehicles used for public transportation, such as taxis or buses, subject to different road tax rates in Mizoram?

iconDown

Yes, vehicles used for commercial purposes, like passenger vehicles or goods carriers, have a different road tax rate in Mizoram. It is important to understand that road tax rates are determined based on the stress that the vehicle can have on the road and contribute to its wear and tear.
Most commercial vehicles carry passengers or goods with the laden weight being very high. Since this increases the chances of causing damage to the road, the road tax rates are usually higher.
