    Weekend cars at reduced tax

    Singapore has a concept of weekend cars of Off peak cars.

    This kind of registration costs much less than normal registration but these are to be used from 7PM to 7AM and during weekend/public holidays only. If found using during peak hours, additional tax and penalty will be levied. This looks like good idea for your second car, which you might intend to use only for weekend trips. However, I learnt not many prefer this concept and go for full registration.

    Will such a concept work in India?
    Neither people are honest to pay extra tax if they use it during week day, nor we have systems to track peak hour usage of such vehicles

    Sure! If this kind of taxation is made available in the system, I am sure that we will see quite a higher number of registrations in this category! And of course, higher number of cars on road by 24*7!

    It's pretty good actually, particularly for leisure buys like Jeeps, coupes etc. But for the common man's sedans and hatches, not so cool.
    This's just give people another way to con out of tax paying.
