New Delhi. You pay tax on whatever goods you buy. Tax is the main source of income for the government. The Product and Service Tax (GST) was implemented on 1 July 2017 by removing various types of taxes imposed on products and goods in India. Currently, four types of tax slabs have been created under GST according to the product, which include tax slabs of 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. Let us tell you that you have to pay 28% GST on vehicles sold in the country. At the same time, a separate cess is also levied according to the size, engine capacity and fuel type of the vehicles.
In the case of vehicles, this tax goes above 50%. If you buy an SUV in India, you pay more than 50% tax to the government through GST. Recently, a picture of the price breakup receipt of an SUV shared by a person on X went viral, after which it has become a topic of discussion.
Tax on SUVs is more than 50%
Let us tell you that the government levies 28% GST on big vehicles like SUVs. In this, the central tax and the state government have an equal share. At the same time, an additional cess of 20-22% is also levied on SUVs. This makes the tax on an SUV almost 50%.
A person named Sumit Bahl shared a picture on his Instagram handle in which information was given about the tax imposed on the ex-showroom price of the diesel model of Mahindra XUV700. According to the post, the actual price of the SUV is Rs 14,58,738.78, while a total cess of Rs 4,08,459.46 has been imposed on it at the rate of 28% GST and Rs 2,91,756.76 at the rate of 20% cess. If the tax is combined, then this SUV worth about 14.50 lakhs is available to the customer for Rs 21,59,000 with GST. At the same time, the customer is paying a tax of about Rs 7 lakh.
If buy any SUV in India, you have to pay over 50% in taxes to the government of India.
You will be paying these taxes after paying taxes on your salary and capital gains.

Maruti Ciaz got 707 customers in August.The price ranges between Rs 9.30 lakh and Rs 12.29 lakh.The sedan is powered by a 1.5-litre NA petrol engine.
New Delhi. Maruti cars have always dominated the Indian market. Be it hatchback or compact SUV, the company sells the most cars in every segment. In August 2024, Maruti Suzuki sold a total of more than 1,45,000 units of cars in the domestic market. However, during this time Maruti Suzuki had to face disappointment in the sales of one of its popular cars. The sales of this car have been very low for the last few years and the same situation remained in the last month as well.
We are talking about Maruti's popular mid-size sedan Ciaz, which got only 707 new customers last month. A year ago i.e. in August 2023, Maruti Ciaz got a total of 849 customers. During this period, sales of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz declined by 16.72 percent on an annual basis. Let us tell you that despite the bumper discount, sales of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz have been declining for several consecutive months. Let us know about this car in detail.
Excellent in engine, power and features
The ex-showroom price of Maruti Ciaz starts from Rs 9.30 lakh and goes up to Rs 12.29 lakh. In Ciaz, the company offers a 1.5-liter petrol engine that generates 105 bhp of power and 138 Nm of torque. This engine comes with the option of 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission. This car is capable of giving a mileage of 20.65 kilometers per liter.

People are upset due to lack of updates
It has been more than 9 years since Maruti Ciaz was launched in the market. In all this time, the company has not made any major changes in this car. Let us tell you that during this time, three generations of Hyundai Verna and Honda City have been launched. Another big reason for the low sales of Ciaz is its outdated engine. The company has not given any update to its engine for a long time. It is coming with a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated petrol engine like before, whereas cars like Honda City have been introduced with advanced technology like hybrid engine and ADAS.
With an ex-showroom price of Rs 9.30 lakh, Maruti Ciaz is the cheapest sedan in its segment. It is also more affordable than the Skoda Slavia, Honda City and Volkswagen Virtus in its competition. At present, the company has not made any official announcement of discontinuing it. The company may update it in the future to maintain its presence in the market.

More than 7 lakh cars are parked with the dealers.Car companies reduced the speed of production.Companies are offering huge discounts to reduce the stock of vehicles.
New Delhi. The festive season begins in the country with Rakshabandhan. During this time, the sales of car companies start increasing and it lasts till the end of the year. However, the Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) has said that the inventory of cars with dealers in the country has reached around 7 lakhs. These are the cars that have not been sold and are standing at the dealership. FADA says that this is a matter of concern for the world's third largest car market. Despite it being the festive season, people are buying fewer cars, due to which the inventory of dealers is increasing and they are incurring losses.
According to the latest reports, this stock is more than two months old. According to market experts, 30 days of inventory is considered normal, but in the current situation the inventory has reached about 60-70 days. In such a situation, the cost of maintaining these cars is increasing on the dealers. Seeing the increasing stock level with the dealers, some car companies have slowed down their production.
Cars worth Rs 73,000 crore are parked at dealerships
According to reports, 7 lakh cars are parked at dealerships across the country, whose total value is approximately Rs 73,000 crore. FADA says that if this situation continues for a long time, then the dealers may have to suffer huge losses. Dealers have to spend lakhs of rupees every month in the maintenance of cars parked in their stock yard. Apart from this, the loan on the cars and the rent for the space also have to be paid on time. If the demand in the market remains low, then the dealers will suffer direct loss.
FADA says that it has seen the inventory of cars increase from 65-67 days at the beginning of July 2024 to around 70-75 days as of today. Dealers currently have around 7,30,000 vehicles on hand, which is equivalent to about 2 months of sales. However, the Indian Automobile Manufacturers Association (SIAM) estimates this figure to be around 4,00,000 units of cars. Vehicle manufacturers can reduce production and increase the sales network for better inventory management.
Why did vehicle sales decline?
Auto experts are giving several reasons for the decline in vehicle sales. The sales have slowed down due to the intense heat in the country for the last few months and heavy rains in some states after that. At the same time, people are buying fewer vehicles right now in anticipation of getting good discounts in the upcoming festive season.
In July 2024, except Mahindra, Kia and Toyota, most car companies have registered a decline in sales. Maruti Suzuki's sales in July were about 9.65% less than in July last year. At the same time, Hyundai, Tata Motors and Honda have also registered a decline. Tata Motors' electric vehicle sales have also seen a sharp decline. Electric car sales have seen a decline of 7% year-on-year in the April-June quarter. At the same time, sales of Tata Motors, which is called the leader of the EV segment, have fallen by 21% in July.
Vehicle companies are giving huge discounts
At this time, most car companies are offering huge discounts on their vehicles. Tata Motors is offering discounts of lakhs of rupees on its Safari, Harrier and even Nexon. Hyundai is also offering discounts on its models like Venue and Exeter this month. Jeep India is offering a discount of Rs 12 lakh on its Grand Cherokee model. Now its starting price has become Rs 68.50 lakh. Earlier its price used to be Rs 80.50 lakh.

New Delhi. The mileage of any car depends on its engine, size, weight, driving conditions and your driving style. Generally, the mileage of a hatchback car is between 15 to 20 kilometers per liter (km/liter). It is also seen that the car gives good mileage on long drives, but the mileage decreases on short drives.
But if you have to drive your car for 10 km, how much petrol will the car consume? Let's find out how much petrol the car will consume for this distance.
If the car is 15 kmpl:
If your car runs 15 kilometres in one litre of oil, then it will need approximately 0.67 litres of petrol to run 10 kilometres.
If the car gives a mileage of 20 kmpl:
In this situation, the car will need 0.5 liters of petrol to run 10 kilometers.
The mileage of the car depends on these things
Traffic: If you are stuck in traffic and use the brake and clutch repeatedly, petrol consumption increases.
Use of AC: Use of air conditioner also reduces fuel efficiency.
Tyre pressure: Low tyre pressure puts more load on the engine, which can increase petrol consumption.
Driving style: Accelerating fast or braking suddenly also consumes more petrol.

New Delhi. BS (Bharat Stage) norms determine the emission standards for vehicles in India. These standards are set by government agencies keeping in mind several criteria. These norms state that the pollution from a vehicle should not exceed a certain level. The BS norms in force in India are based on the European emission standards (Euro norms) and are updated from time to time to reduce air pollution.
Let us tell you that the first emission norm BS1 was implemented in 2000. 5 years later, BS2 was implemented in 2005 and BS3 in 2010. BS4 rule was made in 2017 with many major changes. At present, BS6 emission norms are in force which were implemented from 1 April 2020. Let us tell you that BS5 was skipped.
Preparation for BS7 norms after BS6
In BS6 norms, the levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC), particulate matter (PM), and carbon monoxide (CO) emitted from vehicles were made more stringent than ever before. In this norm, particulate matter emissions for diesel vehicles were reduced by 80% and NOx emissions by 70%.
Talking about the possibility of BS7 norms, no official announcement has been made by the government regarding its implementation yet. However, considering the increasing steps towards environmental protection, the possibility of BS7 norms in the future cannot be ruled out.
Objective of BS Norms
The main objective of BS norms is to control pollution from vehicles and reduce the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere. These norms ensure that vehicle manufacturers make their engines more efficient and environmentally friendly over time.

New Delhi. Tata Motors has launched its new electric SUV Tata Curve EV in the Indian market. The price of this great electric car starts from Rs 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Tata Curve EV is available in a total of seven variants and 5 different colors. The driving range of this car is said to be around 550 km, which makes it a great electric car even for long distances. But the question arises that how much salary should one have to buy this car? Let's know.
If you are thinking of buying this SUV, then first of all you have to make a proper plan keeping in mind your financial condition. As a general rule, you have to take care of some important things for buying a car, which include down payment, EMI and loan tenure.
20% down payment will be required
The ex-showroom price of Tata Curvv EV is Rs 17.49 lakh. After this, after adding insurance, registration and other charges, the on-road price of the car will be around Rs 18.55 lakh. On this price, you will have to make a down payment of 20%, which will be around Rs 3.71 lakh.
This is how you can decide EMI
Whenever you take a loan for a vehicle, keep in mind that your EMI should not exceed 10% of your monthly income. For example, if your monthly income is Rs 1 lakh, then your EMI should not exceed Rs 10,000.
It is very important to keep the loan tenure in mind. The loan tenure should not be more than 4 years. Taking a loan for a longer period can increase your total interest amount, which will also increase the total cost of the vehicle.
How much should the salary be?
If you take a loan of Rs 15 lakh to buy Tata Curvv EV and take it for 4 years at 9.5% interest rate, then your monthly EMI will be around Rs 37,685. According to the basic rule of 20-4-10 for buying a car, your salary should be around Rs 3.5 lakh, so that the budget for other expenses does not get spoiled.
