Consult a DL ExpertThe 2026 Mumbai Registration Landscape
In 2026, registering a vehicle in Mumbai is a digital-first legal commitment governed by the Maharashtra Motor Vehicle Tax (Amendment) Act, 2025.
Whether you are dealing with MH-01 (Tardeo), MH-02 (Andheri), MH-03 (Wadala/Worli), or MH-47 (Dahisar), the process has transitioned into a Faceless RTO model for most services. However, the physical inspection of new vehicles remains a critical hurdle. The 2026 update introduces AI-verified chassis number embossing and integrated HSRP (High-Security Registration Plate) tracking that links your vehicle’s registration directly to the national Vahan database and your FASTag account.
At Kagzikaam, we recognize that the complexities of One-Time Tax (LTT) and the new MCD-style local body cesses in Mumbai can be overwhelming. This guide serves as your strategic roadmap to ensure your asset is registered correctly, taxed accurately, and compliant with the latest environmental and legal standards.

Rules, Tax Slabs & Eligibility Criteria
Following the July 2025 amendments, Maharashtra has revised its road tax structure to one of the most comprehensive in India. Registration eligibility is now tied to the Bharat Stage (BS) VI Phase 3 emission norms.
| Vehicle Fuel Type | Price < ₹10 Lakh | Price ₹10L – ₹20L | Price > ₹20 Lakh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol / Hybrid | 11% LTT | 12% LTT | 13% LTT |
| Diesel | 13% LTT | 14% LTT | 15% LTT |
| CNG / LPG | 8% LTT | 9% LTT | 10% LTT |
| Electric (EV) | 100% EXEMPT (0% Tax & 0% Reg. Fee) | ||
The “Company Registration” Rule
If you register a vehicle under a Company name (Private Ltd, LLP, etc.) in Mumbai, the road tax is a flat 20% of the ex-showroom cost, regardless of the fuel type. This is to curb the misuse of business depreciation on luxury assets.
2026 Eligibility & Restrictions
- Emission Norms: No vehicle below BS-VI (OBD-II Stage 2/3) can be registered as a new vehicle in Mumbai.
- Green Tax: Vehicles older than 15 years (Petrol) or 10 years (Diesel) are subject to a Green Surcharge of 10-15% of the original tax during fitness renewal.
- EV Toll Exemption: Under the 2026 EV Policy, pure electric vehicles registered in Mumbai enjoy 100% toll waivers on the Atal Setu (MTHL) and Samruddhi Mahamarg.
