The Haryana Cabinet on Tuesday approved a host of measures, including a full registration tax waiver for electric vehicles, reservation for ex-Agniveers in state forces, and tax rebates on vehicles purchased in women's names. The decisions were taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Saini, the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said.
Full Exemption On EV Registration
The Cabinet approved a 100% exemption in motor vehicle tax at the time of registration for new, purely electric or battery-operated two-wheelers, three-wheelers (autos and e-rickshaws), and four-wheelers with an ex-showroom price of up to Rs 30 lakh, purchased and registered within the state, DPR Haryana said.
Electric vehicles priced above Rs 30 lakh will get a 50% exemption on the same tax, the department added, describing the move as a step towards a "green revolution" in the state.
Tax Rebate On Vehicles Registered In Women's Names
To encourage women's economic empowerment, the Cabinet approved a 1% rebate on motor vehicle tax for non-commercial vehicles priced up to Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom) when purchased and registered in a woman's name, according to DPR Haryana.
