Citroën Basalt X on-road price in Puducherry (Pondicherry)
Road tax is set by the state, not the dealer, so the You 1.2 Petrol MT costs ₹9,36,589 to put on the road anywhere in Puducherry. 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 Puducherry charges
Puducherry bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 4% to 7%. The You 1.2 Petrol MT pays ₹34,200 of road tax on its ₹8,55,000 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,539 of cess — the ₹35,739 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 ₹10,00,000 | 4% | 4% | 4% |
| Above ₹10,00,000 | 7% | 7% | 7% |
The tax boundary to watch in Puducherry
Puducherry 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 ₹1,93,093 more on the road — ₹57,793 of it from crossing the ₹10,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 4% to 7% 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 Puducherry these upgrades cost more than that.
