200cc Bike Tax in Nepal FY 2083/84: Rates by Province

By Kokil Thapa | Last reviewed: September 2026

200cc bike tax in Nepal is Rs 6,500 a year in six of the seven provinces for FY 2083/84 (mid-July 2026 to mid-July 2027), and Rs 5,500 in Karnali. Vehicle tax is provincial, not national: each province sets its own cc slabs, renewal fee, deadline and late fine, and the slab a 200cc engine falls in is not the same everywhere. This guide gives the exact figures for a privately registered 200cc motorcycle in each province, what changes at 220cc and 250cc, and how the late fines work. The Nepal vehicle tax calculator on this site was built from the same provincial finance acts and vehicle acts, so it gives the same answer as this page and can also work out a late payment for you.

How much is the 200cc bike tax in each province for FY 2083/84?

The table shows the slab that contains a 200cc engine in each province, the annual tax for that slab, the bluebook renewal fee and the total paid on time. Insurance is the national third-party premium for motorcycles of 150–250cc, Rs 1,932 as insurers charge it with VAT and stamp duty.

Three things to know about these figures:

• Koshi changed its slabs this year. In 2082/83 Koshi had a single 150–250cc slab at Rs 6,200. The Koshi Finance Act 2083 split it into 151–200cc at Rs 6,500 and 201–250cc at Rs 8,000. A 200cc bike therefore pays Rs 300 more than last year in Koshi, and anything just above 200cc pays Rs 1,800 more.
• Sudurpashchim had not passed its 2083/84 budget when this was checked on 27 September 2026. By official notice it is collecting at the Finance Act 2082 rates until a new act takes effect, and a new act with higher rates would apply only from the day it commences, not backwards. Its private renewal fee of Rs 300 is the 2081 act's figure; the 2082 act lists only the public rate, at the same amount.
• Insurance may change mid-year. The Rs 1,932 premium comes from the Nepal Insurance Authority tariff of 2073. The FY 2083/84 budget raised third-party cover to Rs 10 lakh, and premiums may change when the Authority issues new rates.

For every slab, not only the one 200cc falls in, see the vehicle tax rates by province on the calculator page.

Does a 220cc or 250cc bike pay more than a 200cc bike?

It depends on the province, because the slab edges sit in different places. Between 200cc and 250cc, some provinces put a bike across a slab edge and others do not. The only number that counts is the cc printed in your bluebook, not the figure in a model name.

• Koshi is the only province where the jump comes straight after 200cc: 201cc pays Rs 8,000.
• Bagmati, Gandaki and Lumbini keep Rs 6,500 up to 225cc. From 226cc the tax is Rs 12,000 in Bagmati and Rs 11,000 in Gandaki and Lumbini, so a 250cc bike there pays Rs 4,500 to Rs 5,500 more than a 200cc bike.
• Madhesh, Karnali and Sudurpashchim charge one rate all the way to 250cc. The next slab (251–400cc) is Rs 11,000 in Madhesh and Sudurpashchim and Rs 10,000 in Karnali.
• Karnali's 250cc edge is ambiguous. Its table is written "from X to Y", so 250cc appears in both the 150–250 and the 250–400 slabs. The calculator reads each edge as the top of the lower slab, which gives Rs 5,500; a transport office could read it the other way.
• Insurance steps up above 250cc, from Rs 1,932 to Rs 2,158, in every province.

At the lower end, a bike of 151–160cc pays Rs 5,000 in Madhesh, because Madhesh's middle slab runs to 160cc rather than 150cc.

When is 200cc bike tax due, and what is the fine for paying late?

The deadline runs from the date your bluebook's registration runs to, and it differs by province. Paying late costs you in two separate ways. The fine is charged on the tax only. A late renewal adds a separate surcharge on the renewal fee: +100% of the fee for each year late, up to 500%, in every province (whether a 'year' is 365 days or a fiscal year is not settled; the calculator uses 365 days). Lumbini caps it at five years, and Karnali's comes from its Vehicle and Transport Management Act 2081, s.22(4). Neither grows by a fixed amount each month; both step up in bands.

Bagmati's 10% band runs from day 31 to day 75, not day 31 to 45 as some sites say. Gandaki's two laws disagree on the due date: the vehicle act says Chaitra end or the renewal deadline, the Finance Act 2083 says 90 days after the bluebook date, and the calculator uses the Finance Act's 90 days. Koshi's 90 days can be read as running from the bluebook date or from the end of the renewal window; the calculator uses the bluebook date.

Worked example: 200cc bike in Bagmati, 50 days late

The bluebook runs to Shrawan 20, 2083, so both the tax and the renewal are due by Kartik 20, 2083. The owner pays 50 days after that, still inside FY 2083/84.

• Tax: Rs 6,500.
• Fine: day 50 is in the 10% band, so 10% of Rs 6,500 = Rs 650.
• Renewal: Rs 300 plus a 100% surcharge = Rs 600.
• Total: Rs 6,500 + Rs 650 + Rs 600 = Rs 7,750, or Rs 9,682 with the Rs 1,932 insurance.

Paid within the first 30 days, the fine would have been 5% (Rs 325) and the total Rs 7,425 before insurance.

Worked example: 200cc against 220cc in Koshi, late within the year

The bluebook runs to Bhadra 1, 2083, so the tax and renewal are due 90 days later, on Kartik 29, 2083 (on the calculator's reading that Koshi's 90 days run from the bluebook date; the Act could also be read as 90 days from the end of the renewal window). The owner pays in Poush 2083, still in the same fiscal year, so Koshi's 10% fine applies and the Rs 200 renewal fee doubles to Rs 400.

If the same owner waits until after Asar end, the fine becomes 20%: Rs 1,300 on the 200cc bike and Rs 1,600 on the 220cc one. The Koshi act does not say whether that 20% repeats for every later year; the calculator charges it once per unpaid year. In Koshi, tax paid online on time carries no fine even if the bluebook is not renewed, but the renewal surcharge still applies.

Worked example: 200cc bike in Lumbini, with the half-fine waiver

The bluebook runs to Bhadra 5, 2083, so the tax is due 90 days later, on Mangsir 3 (reading note 16's 90 days from the bluebook date, as the calculator does), and the renewal three months after the bluebook date, on Mangsir 5. The owner pays in Falgun 2083.

• Tax: Rs 6,500.
• Fine: 20% of Rs 6,500 = Rs 1,300. Lumbini waives half of the fine on the tax for payments up to Chaitra end 2083, so Rs 650.
• Renewal: Rs 300 plus a 100% surcharge = Rs 600. The waiver does not cover this surcharge.
• Total: Rs 6,500 + Rs 650 + Rs 600 = Rs 7,750. Paid after Chaitra end 2083 but before Asar end, the full Rs 1,300 fine applies and the total is Rs 8,400.

In Karnali the same 200cc bike has 90 days after its deadline before any fine starts; after that the fine is 20% of Rs 5,500 (Rs 1,100) within the fiscal year and 30% (Rs 1,650) once it has ended.

What if a 200cc bike is more than a year behind?

Each unpaid year carries its own tax and its own fine, and the renewal surcharge rises with each year late. The calculator charges earlier years at the current year's rates. After five years unrenewed, the registration lapses in most provinces. Some provinces have relief running now:

• Lumbini: half the fine on the tax off for payments up to Chaitra end 2083. Only one concession can be used at a time.
• Gandaki: a vehicle that was already behind on 1 Shrawan 2083 and pays by Baisakh end 2084 has the fines for years before 2083/84 waived. The fine on the 2083/84 year itself still applies.
• Koshi: more than three years behind and paying by Jestha end 2084, the fines for the years before the last three are waived. Every year's tax and renewal is still charged.
• Sudurpashchim: five or more years unpaid, the fines on the tax and the renewal are waived in full when both are paid.

Two readings are not settled by the law. Bagmati's and Madhesh's acts charge 32% and 30% "for each fiscal year" after the first; the calculator reads that as adding up (32%, 64% and so on), not a flat rate. Karnali's Finance Act says a flat 30% while its vehicle act says 30% for each fiscal year; the calculator uses the flat 30%. For a bike several years behind, confirm the figure with your transport office.

Can you pay 200cc bike tax online?

In Bagmati, from 2083/84, a payment made online that shows in the Vehicle Registration System (VRS) replaces the physical bluebook renewal, so you do not need to take the bluebook to the office to be stamped. Keep the receipt. In Koshi, paying the tax online on time avoids the fine on the tax, but a late renewal is still surcharged. For other provinces, check with your transport management office before relying on an online payment.

For a date-by-date figure for your own bike, enter the bluebook date and the province in the vehicle tax calculator. For the full picture across every vehicle type, read the vehicle tax in Nepal guide, and for what the new budgets changed, what changed in vehicle tax for 2083/84. The renewal process itself is covered in the bike bluebook renewal guide.
