What Makes Up the On-Road Price in Tamil Nadu
Taking the HTX Turbo DCT at ₹18,01,901 ex-showroom, here is exactly what Tamil Nadu adds on top:
| Component | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Ex-showroom price | ₹18,01,901 | Manufacturer price, Delhi |
| Tamil Nadu road tax | ₹3,60,380 | 20% of ex-showroom (petrol) |
| Insurance (first year) | ₹63,067 | ~3.5% comprehensive, estimate |
| Registration & handling | ₹15,000 | RTO fee, HSRP, FASTag |
| TCS | ₹18,019 | 1% — ex-showroom above ₹10,00,000, Sec 206C(1F) |
| On-road price | ₹22,58,367 | Total payable |
Tamil Nadu note: Steep 20% on cars above ₹20 lakh; +₹2,250 road-safety tax. 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 Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu 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 20% rather than the 13% 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: Tamil Nadu vs Other States
The same HTX Turbo DCT, registered in eight different states. The spread between the cheapest and dearest is ₹2,52,266 — on an identical car:
| State | Road tax | On-road price | vs Tamil Nadu |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gujarat | ₹1,08,114 (6%) | ₹20,06,101 | −₹2,52,266 |
| Rajasthan | ₹1,62,171 (9%) | ₹20,60,158 | −₹1,98,209 |
| Delhi | ₹1,80,190 (10%) | ₹20,78,177 | −₹1,80,190 |
| Uttar Pradesh | ₹1,80,190 (10%) | ₹20,78,177 | −₹1,80,190 |
| Maharashtra | ₹2,16,228 (12%) | ₹21,14,215 | −₹1,44,152 |
| Telangana | ₹2,52,266 (14%) | ₹21,50,253 | −₹1,08,114 |
| Karnataka | ₹3,06,323 (17%) | ₹22,04,310 | −₹54,057 |
| Tamil Nadu (this page) | ₹3,60,380 (20%) | ₹22,58,367 | — |
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 Tamil Nadu
