Bike Blue Book Renew Price in Nepal 2026: FY 2083/84 Total by Province

By Kokil Thapa | Last reviewed: September 2026

The bike blue book renew price in Nepal is three payments added together: the province's annual vehicle tax for your engine size, the province's bluebook renewal fee, and compulsory third-party insurance. Vehicle tax is provincial, not national, so the same bike costs a different amount in Koshi, Bagmati or Karnali, and each province sets its own deadline and late fines. This guide gives the totals for FY 2083/84 (mid-July 2026 to mid-July 2027) for the common motorcycle sizes in all seven provinces. The figures come from the same provincial finance acts and vehicle acts used to build the Nepal vehicle tax calculator, which works out your exact amount from your bluebook date.

What makes up the bike blue book renew price in Nepal?

Three things, paid to two different places.

• Vehicle tax, set by engine capacity (cc) in each province's finance act (Sudurpashchim is still on its Finance Act 2082). This is the largest part.
• The renewal fee for the bluebook itself, also set by the province.
• Third-party insurance, bought from an insurer. Its rate is national, set by the Nepal Insurance Authority, so it is the same in every province.

The motorcycle renewal fee for a private bike in FY 2083/84:

Sudurpashchim's Rs 300 is the private rate from its 2081 Act. Its Finance Act 2082 lists only the public-vehicle rate, which is the same amount, so the private figure under the 2082 Act is not separately confirmed.

Third-party insurance for a private motorcycle, as insurers charge it including VAT and stamp duty:

A 150cc bike falls in the 150–250cc insurance band, even though most provinces put 150cc in their lower tax slab. The FY 2083/84 budget raised third-party cover to Rs 10 lakh, and the Authority had not issued new rates when this was reviewed, so the premium may change during the year.

How much does it cost to renew a bike bluebook in each province?

First, the vehicle tax alone for FY 2083/84. Slabs are inclusive at the top, so "up to 125cc" includes a 125cc bike.

Now the full renewal price, paid on time: tax plus renewal fee plus one year of third-party insurance.

What the tables hide:

• The 250cc column is where provinces split. Bagmati, Gandaki and Lumbini put 250cc in a slab that starts at 226cc, while Madhesh and Sudurpashchim keep bikes up to 250cc at Rs 6,500. Koshi split its old 150–250cc slab this year into 151–200cc (Rs 6,500) and 201–250cc (Rs 8,000).
• Madhesh's second slab runs to 160cc, so a 155cc or 160cc bike pays Rs 5,000 there and Rs 6,500 in most other provinces.
• Karnali's table writes each slab as "from X to Y", so 125cc, 150cc, 250cc, 400cc and 650cc each appear in two slabs; the figures here put an exact edge in the lower slab, as the calculator does. Confirm with the transport office if your bike sits exactly on an edge.
• Sudurpashchim had not passed its 2083/84 budget as of 27 September 2026 and collects at the Finance Act 2082 rates by official notice. A later Finance Act 2083 would apply from its own start date, not backwards.
• Old bikes pay more. Most provinces add an age surcharge on vehicles more than 15 years old. It is not included here or in the calculator.

Electric bikes and scooters are not taxed by cc. Most provinces tax them by motor power in watts, Madhesh taxes them by price from 2083/84, and Lumbini gives private electric vehicles 20% off the tax. The calculator covers all of these, and its vehicle tax tables by province list every slab. If you ride a 200cc bike, the 200cc bike tax guide goes through that size in more detail.

How much more does a late bluebook renewal cost?

Renewing late adds two separate charges, and they are worked out on different amounts:

• A fine on the tax, as a percentage of the tax only. It steps up in bands; it does not grow every month.
• A surcharge on the renewal fee: in every province, an extra 100% of the fee for each year late, up to 500% (Lumbini: up to five years). A Rs 300 fee renewed a few weeks late becomes Rs 600.

The "bluebook date" is the date your registration runs to. The renewal itself is due within three months of it in most provinces, and within 90 days in Koshi. In Bagmati the 10% band covers day 31 to day 75, not day 31 to 45. In Sudurpashchim, if the renewal date falls after Chaitra end, tax paid by Asar end carries no fine; paid after that, the fine runs from Chaitra end.

Some of this law is unclear, and the calculator states its reading rather than hiding it. Gandaki's Vehicle Act gives Chaitra end as the deadline while its Finance Act gives 90 days; the calculator uses the 90 days. Koshi does not say whether its 20% repeats each year, and Karnali's Finance Act says a flat 30% where its Vehicle Act says 30% for each year. Bagmati, Madhesh and Sudurpashchim charge 32% or 30% "for each fiscal year" after the first; the calculator reads that as adding up (32%, then 64%), not a flat rate. Whether "a year late" for the surcharge means 365 days or a fiscal year is also not settled; the calculator uses 365 days.

Is there any fine relief in 2083/84?

• Lumbini: half the fine on the tax is waived for payments made by Chaitra end 2083. The renewal surcharge is not reduced, and only one concession can be used at a time.
• Gandaki: a bike already behind on 1 Shrawan 2083 that pays by Baisakh end 2084 has the fines on years before 2083/84 waived, "for the last time". The 2083/84 year's own fine still applies.
• Koshi: more than three years behind and paying by Jestha end 2084, the fines of the years before the last three are waived. Every year's tax and renewal fee is still charged.
• Sudurpashchim: five or more years unpaid, the fines on both the tax and the renewal are waived when both are paid.
• Bagmati: no general waiver. The only relief is for deregistering a lost or unusable two-wheeler by Poush end 2083, and the old "pay the last three years" scheme ended in Jestha 2083.

Worked example 1: Bagmati, 150cc, 50 days late

The bluebook ran to 1 Baisakh 2083, so the deadline was three months later, 1 Shrawan 2083. The owner pays on 20 Bhadra 2083, 50 days late. That is the 10% band (day 31 to 75), and the renewal is within a year of its deadline, so the surcharge is 100%.

• Tax Rs 5,000 + fine 10% of Rs 5,000 = Rs 500
• Renewal fee Rs 300 + surcharge Rs 300
• Insurance (150–250cc) Rs 1,932
• Total: 5,000 + 500 + 300 + 300 + 1,932 = Rs 8,032, against Rs 7,232 on time.

Worked example 2: Lumbini, 125cc, 45 days late

The bluebook ran to 1 Bhadra 2083. The tax deadline is 90 days later, 29 Kartik 2083; the renewal deadline is three months later, 1 Mangsir 2083. The owner pays on 15 Poush 2083, 45 days after the tax deadline and inside the same fiscal year, so the fine is 20%. The payment is before Chaitra end 2083, so half of that fine is waived.

• Tax Rs 3,000 + fine 20% of Rs 3,000 = Rs 600, half waived, so Rs 300
• Renewal fee Rs 300 + surcharge Rs 300 (not covered by the waiver)
• Insurance (below 150cc) Rs 1,706
• Total: 3,000 + 300 + 300 + 300 + 1,706 = Rs 5,606, against Rs 5,006 on time.

Worked example 3: Gandaki, 150cc, a whole year missed

The bluebook ran to 1 Bhadra 2082 and was never renewed. Paying on 15 Poush 2083, the owner owes two years. The 2082/83 year had its tax deadline on 29 Kartik 2082, before 1 Shrawan 2083, so the bike qualifies for Gandaki's amnesty and that year's fine and surcharge are waived. The 2083/84 year's deadline was 29 Kartik 2083, so it is 45 days late: a 10% fine and a 100% surcharge.

• 2082/83: tax Rs 5,000 + renewal fee Rs 300, no fine or surcharge
• 2083/84: tax Rs 5,000 + fine Rs 500 + renewal fee Rs 300 + surcharge Rs 300
• Insurance for the current year Rs 1,932
• Total: 5,300 + 6,100 + 1,932 = Rs 13,332

Without the amnesty, the same payment would carry a 40% fine on the 2082/83 tax (Rs 2,000) and, on the calculator's 365-day reading, a 200% surcharge on that year's renewal fee (Rs 600): Rs 2,600 more, for a total of Rs 15,932.

Leave it for more than five years and the bike can lose its registration. The provincial vehicle acts cancel a registration not renewed within the five-year surcharge period (in Lumbini, once the tax has gone unpaid past its five-year fine period), and in several provinces, including Bagmati, Madhesh, Gandaki and Karnali, unpaid tax can be recovered by holding and auctioning the vehicle.

What documents do you need to renew a bike bluebook?

The bluebook (vehicle registration certificate) and a current third-party insurance policy. Third-party insurance is compulsory.

In Bagmati the Act requires the tax to be paid before the bluebook can be renewed or the bike transferred to a new owner.

Where and how do you pay the bluebook renewal?

Keep a current third-party policy, then pay the tax and renewal fee to your province, at the Transport Management Office or revenue office that holds your bike's record.

• Bagmati: from 2083/84, tax paid online that shows in the Vehicle Registration System (VRS) removes the need for a physical bluebook renewal.
• Koshi: tax paid online on time carries no fine even if the bluebook is not renewed, but the late-renewal surcharge still applies when you do renew.
• Other provinces: ask your transport office which payments it accepts before assuming the Bagmati rule applies.

To get your own figure, enter your province, engine size, bluebook date and payment date in the vehicle tax calculator. It counts every year owed, applies the province's fine bands, surcharge and any 2083/84 relief, and adds insurance. For the tax rules on their own, see the bike kar guide for 2083 or the vehicle tax in Nepal guide, which also covers cars.
