What Makes Up the On-Road Price in Karnataka
Taking the HTX Turbo DCT at ₹17,71,401 ex-showroom, here is exactly what Karnataka adds on top:
| Component | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Ex-showroom price | ₹17,71,401 | Manufacturer price, Delhi |
| Karnataka road tax | ₹3,01,138 | 17% of ex-showroom (petrol) |
| Insurance (first year) | ₹61,999 | ~3.5% comprehensive, estimate |
| Registration & handling | ₹15,000 | RTO fee, HSRP, FASTag |
| TCS | ₹17,714 | 1% — ex-showroom above ₹10,00,000, Sec 206C(1F) |
| On-road price | ₹21,67,252 | Total payable |
Karnataka note: Among the highest in India; +11% cess on the tax plus a welfare cess. EVs exempt.
TCS is not a cost — it is tax collected at source and is creditable against your income tax liability when you file your return. The road tax, however, is a genuine sunk cost and it is the single largest state-level variable in the price you pay.
The Slab Trap in Karnataka
Karnataka applies road tax in price slabs, not as a flat percentage. The HTX Turbo DCT sits above the ₹10,00,000 slab boundary, so it is taxed at 17% rather than the 14% that applies below that line. A variant priced just under ₹10,00,000 attracts meaningfully less tax — which means the cheaper variant can save you more than the sticker difference suggests. Worth checking before you commit to a higher trim for one or two features.
Seltos On-Road Price: Karnataka vs Other States
The same HTX Turbo DCT, registered in eight different states. The spread between the cheapest and dearest is ₹2,47,996 — on an identical car:
| State | Road tax | On-road price | vs Karnataka |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gujarat | ₹1,06,284 (6%) | ₹19,72,398 | −₹1,94,854 |
| Rajasthan | ₹1,59,426 (9%) | ₹20,25,540 | −₹1,41,712 |
| Delhi | ₹1,77,140 (10%) | ₹20,43,254 | −₹1,23,998 |
| Uttar Pradesh | ₹1,77,140 (10%) | ₹20,43,254 | −₹1,23,998 |
| Maharashtra | ₹2,12,568 (12%) | ₹20,78,682 | −₹88,570 |
| Telangana | ₹2,47,996 (14%) | ₹21,14,110 | −₹53,142 |
| Karnataka (this page) | ₹3,01,138 (17%) | ₹21,67,252 | — |
| Tamil Nadu | ₹3,54,280 (20%) | ₹22,20,394 | +₹53,142 |
You must register a vehicle in the state where you ordinarily reside, so this table is not a shopping list — it is context for what you are actually paying, and it matters if you are about to relocate. Moving a car to a new state means re-registering there and paying that state's road tax again, with only a partial refund of the original. Factor that in before an inter-state move.
Financing the Seltos in Karnataka
At ₹21,67,252 on-road, the loan maths on the HTX Turbo DCT:
