RTO Registration Fees & Road Tax
Uttar Pradesh charges a one-time road tax at registration, calculated as a percentage of the vehicle's cost (rising for higher-value vehicles), plus standard registration and HSRP fees. Rates are revised periodically — confirm the current slab with the RTO or on Parivahan before paying.
Uttar Pradesh Road Tax Slabs
| Ex-Showroom Price Band | Lifetime Tax (Petrol/Diesel) | Lifetime Tax (EV) |
|---|---|---|
| Under ₹6 Lakh | 3% | 0% (Exempt) |
| ₹6 Lakh – ₹10 Lakh | 6% | 0% (Exempt) |

| Above ₹20 Lakh | 9% | 0% (Exempt) |
Old Vehicle Rules in Kanpur: Is the NCR Ban Applicable?
No — Kanpur is outside the Delhi National Capital Region, so the NGT / CAQM 10-year diesel and 15-year petrol ban does not apply here. Vehicles may ply as long as their RC, fitness certificate, insurance, and PUC remain valid. Private vehicle RCs are valid for 15 years and renewable every 5 years thereafter.
RC Transfer & Re-registration in Kanpur
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 Kanpur from another state must re-register locally and pay any road-tax differential.
