Bihar Motor Vehicles Taxation Act 1994 s.4: 'Nothing in this Act shall apply to a motor vehicle used solely for the purposes of agriculture.' BUT s.4 adds that a vehicle used for transporting agricultural produce is NOT deemed used solely for agriculture. s.7(7) then provides a combined one-time tax for a tractor with trailer: Rs 3,000 where the tractor is up to 25 HP and the trailer does not exceed 3 tonnes; Rs 5,000 where the tractor exceeds 25 HP and the trailer does not exceed 5 tonnes. s.7(8)(a): tractors used otherwise pay one-time tax at 1% of the cost of the vehicle excluding VAT. Trailer rates in Schedule I run roughly Rs 253 to Rs 1,568+ per year by registered laden weight.
Bihar is one of the few states with concrete, publishable rupee figures for the tractor-trailer combination (Rs 3,000 / Rs 5,000). Note the statutory HP threshold of 25 HP — almost every mainstream farm tractor sold today exceeds it, so the Rs 5,000 slab is the one that usually applies where a trailer is registered. A tractor alone with no trailer, used solely for agriculture, should attract nothing.
RTO registration: 600 (LMV non-transport, Rule 81) + 200 smart card. Verify with RTO.
Insurance: As national.
