In a major relief for car buyers, the Maruti Ertiga is now being offered tax-free under a government-backed scheme, making it more affordable for families and fleet operators. The announcement has generated significant buzz in the automobile market, as the popular MPV is already among India’s top-selling family vehicles.
Scheme Details
According to the information released, eligible buyers can now purchase the Maruti Ertiga without paying the standard GST and road tax. This benefit comes under a special exemption category provided by the government for certain segments, including employees of recognized institutions, defence personnel, and other specific beneficiaries.
The scheme aims to reduce the financial burden on buyers and encourage the adoption of fuel-efficient family cars. With tax exemptions, customers can save a substantial amount on the on-road price, which otherwise includes hefty tax components.
Popularity of Maruti Ertiga
The Ertiga has consistently ranked as one of the best-selling MPVs in India, thanks to its spacious 7-seater layout, fuel-efficient engine options, and reliability. It is widely preferred by both families and commercial operators such as cab aggregators. With the new tax-free offer, the Ertiga is expected to attract even more demand.
Industry Reactions
Auto dealers have welcomed the decision, noting that it could lead to a spike in bookings. Experts also believe that tax exemptions on family-oriented vehicles like the Ertiga can boost middle-class affordability and improve overall sales in the passenger vehicle segment.
How Buyers Can Avail the Offer
Interested customers are advised to check their eligibility before applying for the tax-free purchase. The benefit is available only to select categories as per government norms. Buyers will need to provide valid documents at the time of booking to claim the exemption.
With this development, the Maruti Ertiga has become even more attractive for Indian families seeking a budget-friendly, spacious, and reliable MPV. The scheme not only offers significant cost savings but also strengthens the Ertiga’s position as a market leader in its segment.
