If you are planning to go for a two wheeler in Maharashtra, this would be a bad news for your plans. The basic motor vehicle tax in Maharashtra has been recently increased, implementing suddenly from 7 June 2016. The updated tax distribution among local and imported bikes are as below.
Locally Manufactured
Below 100 cc : 8%
100-299 cc : 9%
300 and above :10%
Imported
Below 100 cc : 16%
100-299 cc : 18%
300 and above : 20%
The taxes were 7 percent on every bike before 7th June. This means the registration of bikes would become quiet expensive, specially for those which are above few lakhs in ex-showroom price.
