The rules

Tax, permits, testing and the practical side

Road tax for goods vehicles

  • Goods vehicles pay tax under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1951 and the rules made under it. The schedule is set by gross vehicle weight class, with heavier trucks commonly paying periodic tax.
  • Rajasthan has charged special road tax on some goods vehicle classes in addition to the basic tax. Read the full schedule, not only the headline rate, when you register a new truck.
  • The current notification is published by the Transport Department on transport.rajasthan.gov.in. Tax for RJ vehicles is paid online through Parivahan vehicle services.

Fitness testing

  • MoRTH is moving fitness testing of transport vehicles to registered automated testing stations (ATS) in phases, and the deadlines have been extended before. Before booking, check whether an ATS has been registered for your RTO area or whether the RTO's motor vehicle inspector still conducts the test.
  • Rajasthan fleets with trucks registered in Kishangarh, Bhilwara or Udaipur should check the ATS list for each RTO separately, because availability differs by district.

Permits

  • Home-state goods carriage permits are issued by the Regional Transport Authority for the registering region.
  • A national permit is issued by the home-state transport authority. The national permit authorisation that lets the truck run across India is paid online on the Parivahan national permit service, and its annual renewal date is separate from the permit's own validity. Track both dates.
  • Mining and stone transport in Rajasthan is also checked against mining department transit passes. Those are separate from motor vehicle documents but are stopped at the same checkpoints.

Practical notes for fleets

  • Overloading is the offence to watch in stone and marble transport. The penalty under Section 194(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act is ₹20,000 plus ₹2,000 per extra tonne, and refusing to stop for weighing is up to ₹40,000 under Section 194(2). States can set different compounding amounts.
  • Long hauls into Gujarat and Maharashtra mean challans from other states. Check them every day for every RJ truck.
  • RJ codes are tied to the RTO: RJ 14 is Jaipur, RJ 42 is Kishangarh. Keep the RTO with each truck in the register so the munshi knows where each renewal goes.

Questions about Rajasthan

Ask the team

Where do I find the current goods vehicle tax rates for Rajasthan?

Road tax in Rajasthan is charged under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1951. The current schedule is published by the state transport department; start at transport.rajasthan.gov.in. Rates change with the state budget and notifications, so read the version in force on the day you pay.

Does a RJ-registered national permit truck pay tax in other states?

It pays road tax to Rajasthan as its home state, and an annual national permit authorisation fee online through Parivahan. The authorisation lets it run across India. Track the tax date and the authorisation date separately.

Where is fitness tested in Rajasthan?

MoRTH is moving fitness testing of transport vehicles to registered automated testing stations in phases, and deadlines have been extended before. Check the department's notices for the stations that serve your RTO, or ask the RTO whether it still inspects your vehicle class.

What is the penalty if the tax lapses?

Rajasthan sets its own grace period and penalty for late payment under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1951. The penalty is charged on top of the tax, so the paid-up date on VAHAN is the one to watch.
