What is Driver Bata and why is it charged?

Driver Bata (₹500 to ₹700 per calendar day depending on vehicle size) covers the driver's daily food, accommodation, and personal expenses during the trip. It ensures your chauffeur is well-rested and alert for safe driving.

How are Interstate Permits and State Border Taxes charged?

When travelling across state borders (e.g., Tamil Nadu to Karnataka, or Tamil Nadu to Andhra Pradesh/Puducherry), commercial vehicle road tax must be paid at state border RTO checkposts. These are billed at exact government receipt actuals or bundled into flat all-inclusive quotations upon request.

Is there any GST or Service Tax applicable?

GST on passenger road transport is charged at 5% (with input tax credit) on the final invoice for corporate and registered business entities.
