Gujarat charges ₹300 to move a car’s registration into a new name, plus ₹200 for the smart card RC. On top of those two fees the state levies a transfer tax, and that’s the number that decides your bill: 15% of the lump sum tax already paid on the car if it’s up to eight …
Transferring an RC from one state to another starts at the RTO where the car is registered: apply there in Form 28 for a no objection certificate. Take that NOC to the RTO in the state you’re moving to, file Form 29 and Form 30 for the ownership change, add Form 27 if the car …
Putting a used car’s RC into your own name costs ₹500 in central fees. That’s ₹300 for the transfer of ownership, plus ₹200 for the smart card RC that carries your name. Pay cash, file the papers yourself, and the government wants nothing beyond it. So why do two buyers get quoted wildly different amounts? …
Maintenance alone costs roughly ₹1.80 to ₹3.00 per kilometre for a mass-market car driven 10,000 km a year. That’s the ₹18,000 to ₹30,000 realistic yearly budget divided by the distance, and there’s nothing more complicated behind it. Scheduled service on its own is far cheaper, about 60 paise per kilometre on a Maruti Swift averaged …
A car’s length changes the tax you pay on it, and the rule turns on one number: 4,000 mm. Under GST 2.0, in force since 22 September 2025, a car that doesn’t exceed 4,000 mm attracts 18% GST provided its engine also qualifies: petrol, LPG or CNG up to 1200cc, or diesel up to 1500cc. …
How do you choose the right car loan amount? Work backwards from your monthly budget, not forwards from the car you’ve fallen for. Keep the car loan EMI inside roughly 10 to 15% of your monthly take-home pay, put down at least 20% of the price and borrow against the on-road price rather than the …
Your car loan EMI comes out of one formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n – 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12, then by 100) and n is the loan tenure in months. Borrow ₹6,00,000 at 9% for 60 months …
Is Fronx 1.2 underpowered? No. The 1.2 litre petrol Fronx moves about 93.5 PS for every tonne it weighs, which is normal for a sub-4-metre SUV at this price, and it makes more power than the naturally aspirated engines you’ll find in the Venue and the Sonet. There’s one honest catch, and it’s load. Fill …
Which is better Fronx turbo or normal? The honest answer splits by how you drive. Book the 1.0 turbo if you spend real time on highways, climb ghats, or want the smoother automatic. Pick the 1.2 petrol if your world is mostly city traffic and you want the lowest price on road. Neither is the …
Is Maruti Fronx worth buying? For a city-first buyer who wants SUV seating height and Maruti’s low running costs at roughly hatchback money, yes. For someone expecting genuine SUV room or highway muscle from the base engine, probably not. And here’s the number nobody on the results page actually shows you: that ₹6.85 lakh sticker …
