Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there a road tax for Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Pune in 2026? For EVs under ₹30 Lakhs, the tax remains 0% to encourage adoption. However, for premium EVs exceeding ₹30 Lakhs, a 6% motor vehicle tax is now applicable under the 2025 Amendment.

2. What happens if I move my vehicle to Pune without paying Maharashtra Road Tax? Legally, you can drive an out-of-state vehicle for up to 12 months. After that, you must pay the road tax. Non-payment leads to a penalty of 2% per month on the tax amount and potential vehicle seizure.

3. Can I get a refund of my road tax if I sell my car? No, road tax is non-refundable upon sale. However, if you are transferring the vehicle to another state and re-registering it there, you can apply for a pro-rata refund of the remaining years from the Pune RTO.

4. What is the maximum tax cap in Maharashtra? The maximum tax ceiling for individual registrations has been increased from ₹20 Lakhs to ₹30 Lakhs for luxury vehicles.
