RTO Registration Fees & Road Tax
Uttar Pradesh charges a one-time road tax at registration, calculated as a percentage of the vehicle's cost, with the rate rising for higher-value vehicles, plus standard registration and HSRP fees. Road tax also applies when you bring a vehicle into Meerut from another state. Rates are revised periodically — confirm the current slab with the RTO or on Parivahan before paying.
Uttar Pradesh Road Tax Slabs
| Vehicle Category | Standard Road Tax / Registration Rate |
|---|---|
| Two Wheelers | 2% to 8% of ex-showroom price based on cost |
| Four Wheelers (< 10 Lakh) | 8% of ex-showroom price |
| Four Wheelers (> 10 Lakh) | 10% of ex-showroom price |
⚠️ Old Vehicle Rules in Meerut (NCR)
Meerut is part of the Delhi-NCR, so the rule barring diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years from plying applies here in principle, under NGT / Supreme Court orders. Uttar Pradesh is enforcing this in phases via the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM): denial of fuel to end-of-life vehicles has been announced first for Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Bulandshahr and Hapur from 1 November 2026, with other western-UP NCR districts — including Meerut — expected to follow (verify current status before publishing). Such vehicles must be de-registered, moved out of NCR with an NOC, or scrapped — so always check a used car's age and registration date before buying.
RC Transfer & Re-registration in Meerut
Used Vehicle Ownership Transfer
Transfer the RC of a used vehicle into your name within 30 days, using Form 29 and Form 30 signed by the seller, the original RC, insurance in the buyer's name, ID/address proof, PUC, and — if there was a loan — the financier's NOC.
RC Validity & Inter-state Relocation
A private vehicle's RC is valid for 15 years, after which it must be re-registered (Form 25 + fitness check) and renewed every 5 years. A vehicle relocating to Meerut from another state must re-register locally and pay any road-tax differential.
