CM Nayab Singh Saini Delivers on Budget Promise, Cabinet Approves 1% Motor Vehicle Tax Rebate for Women

Chandigarh, July 28- Haryana Cabinet, which met under the Chairmanship of the Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini here today, approved a rebate in motor vehicle tax for non-transport vehicles purchased and registered in the name of women in the State with an ex-showroom price of up to Rs. 20 lakhs.

As per the decision, an exemption equivalent to 1 percent of the ex-showroom price of the vehicle will be granted in the case of new registrations of non-transport vehicles in the name of women in the State.

The decision is aimed at promoting self-reliance among women. Providing a tax rebate will serve as an incentive for women to register vehicles in their own name, thereby encouraging their independence and greater participation in economic activities.

The State Government, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 3 of the Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 2016, specifies the rates of motor vehicles tax levied on all categories of vehicles registered and operated in the State of Haryana.

At present, motor vehicles tax on vehicles used for personal purposes is levied on the cost of the vehicle, i.e. its ex-showroom price.

As announced by the Chief Minister in the Budget Speech for the year 2026-27, a rebate of 1 percent in motor vehicle tax is to be granted on non-transport vehicles purchased and registered in the name of women in the State, over and above the existing motor vehicle tax. However, the State Government has now decided that this rebate will be available only for vehicles with an ex-showroom price of up to Rs. 20 lakh.
