Road Tax in Uttar Pradesh
In Uttar Pradesh, the Road Transport Office (RTO) collects road tax from people who own cars, bikes, trucks, or other vehicles. Every private or commercial vehicle must pay road tax if it is registered in the state. If someone drives a vehicle without paying road tax, the officer in charge (appointed by the state) can take away the vehicle or call the police for further action. This rule is part of a law made in 1997.
How is the Tax Calculated in Uttar Pradesh?
In Uttar Pradesh, road tax depends on these things:

- Why you use the vehicle (for personal use or carrying goods)
- The model of your vehicle
