Tax Calculation & Slab Mechanics
For individual vehicle owners in UP, road tax is estimated as a lifetime levy with fuel-specific bands. A ₹8 Lakh petrol car at 8% gives ₹64,000, while a ₹14 Lakh petrol car at 10% gives ₹1,40,000. Diesel and CNG use their own configured percentages, so the fuel selection materially changes the result.
