Citroën Basalt X on-road price in Bengaluru (Bangalore) and across Karnataka
These are the figures for every city in Karnataka. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the You 1.2 Petrol MT costs the same ₹10,36,256 to put on the road in Bengaluru as it does in Belagavi. The only thing that moves between showrooms is the dealer handling charge, which is not a published figure — so it is not in any total on this page.

What Karnataka charges
Karnataka bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 13% to 18%. Karnataka also charges an 11% cess on the tax and a ₹1,000 registration cess. The You 1.2 Petrol MT pays ₹1,19,700 of road tax and ₹14,167 of those levies on its ₹8,55,000 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,539 of cess — the ₹1,35,406 the table shows. That cess is 0.18% of ex-showroom, and we bill it because it appears at exactly that rate on every invoice we checked, in all 36 states and union territories. We have not found the notification that sets it, so we describe it rather than name it.
| Ex-showroom band | Petrol | Diesel | CNG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹5,00,000 | 13% | 14% | 13% |
| ₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 | 14% | 14% | 14% |
| ₹10,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 17% | 17% | 17% |
| Above ₹20,00,000 | 18% | 18% | 17% |
Karnataka taxes diesel up to 1 percentage point higher than petrol, so the same trim costs more to register on that fuel here than the ex-showroom gap suggests.
The tax boundary to watch in Karnataka
Karnataka re-rates the whole price once a car crosses a band, so a small move up the range can cost several times its ex-showroom difference. On the Citroën Basalt X, one variant does this.
Plus 1.2 Petrol MT → Max 1.2 Petrol MT
₹1,35,300 more ex-showroom becomes ₹2,12,449 more on the road — ₹77,149 of it from crossing the ₹10,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 14% to 17% and 1% TCS starts applying.
Worth knowing before you pick a trim: our verdict on whether the equipment justifies the gap is based on the ex-showroom difference, and in Karnataka these upgrades cost more than that.
