dear all I have recently purchased a car for my own use. i am with left leg disability due to polio. i am not much aware of things about visual impaired person buying a car with concessions. however i got following the tax relaxations. 1. after the GST introduction, the excise duty relaxation is replaced with GST concession. to avail the GST concession (10%) from 28% for normal people to 18% for PWD you keed to apply to department of heavy industries. in their website it is in detail guidelines are given how to get the concession. 2. 50% less premium for insurance 3. Road tax exemption ( it is available in Karnataka state, in Bangalore i have availed this concession)
the point is to get GST concession they have mentioned (Link : https://dhi.nic.in/writereaddata/UploadFile/guidlines_for_issue_of_GST_concession636610330602264535.PDF), it is for persons with physical disabilities. similarly car means it has to fulfill any of these requirements a) Cars being able to be driven by the physically handicapped; or b) Cars which has been suitably designed to be able to be driven by physically handicapped; or c) Cars meant for physically handicapped which in most cases reflect car need to be driven by PWD. however they require medical certificate as per the format in annexure B states that any of 4 following conditions the doctor need to give his certificate to avail the GST, which is 1. His disability is such that he can use the car only with assistance driver. 2. His disability is such that he can drive the car with automated transmission only 3. His disability is such that he can drive any car (Manual as well as Automated transmission) inspite of above mentioned disability 4. His disability is such that he can drive the car provided car can be suitably modified with necessary retrofitted device i dont know but still you can enquire above the first point where you can get medicate certificate to avail the GST concession, but again we need to enquire about definition of car ( points) where VH person are fitting into it. regarding GST concession, you can write a mail to under secretary to get clarifications. cheers Tamil Selvan On Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 10:34 PM Arjun Malhotra <malhotraarjun2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Mr. Bhawani, > The issue was not whether there tax exemption should be granted or > not.
