I want a GST& Excise duty concession certificate for handicapped person from the Govt.of India (Ministry of Heavy Industries). But how to apply for it ? Please help me. Is it possible online ? or offline. I am from Assam, Karbi Anglong District.
To,
Respected Madam/ Sir,
Sub: Disabled Person –Need your help to get road tax exemptions for car
I am 45 years old left leg disabled person with 50 % disability, I am facing lots of difficulties while mobilisation & routine work, because of that my family is also struggling a lot with me.
Almost 2 years back I come to know that there is guideline to get excise (now GST) and road tax exemption for disabled person & left leg disabled person can buy automatic car.
After 2 years of continuous efforts, I am able to complete all formalities & able to get Medical certificate, Manufacturer certificate & GST exemption certificate from Ministry of Heavy Industry & Public Enterprises.
I also got the Permanent Driving Fitness Certificate from Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (Rehabilitation Centre) & got the new automatic car from Maruti last week.
When I have submitted all documents to RTO for road tax exemption, they are saying that they cannot give me road tax exemption for automatic car.
I have explained him that in the Permanent driving fitness certificate, Rehabilitation Centre Director has clearly mention that automatic or auto transmission vehicle is completely suitable & fit for me.
I have also explained that now term invalid carriage has changed to adapted vehicle in amended MVA ACT in 2017. I have explained that adapted vehicle means the vehicle suitable for disabled person to drive & as recommended by Director of Rehabilitation centre. So as per them I am able to drive the automatic car that means without clutch car. Hence road tax exemption is applicable for me also.
I have also explained him that earlier there was no option of automatic car, hence Disabled person can use only modified vehicle but now automatic car option is available in the so he/ she can get road tax exemption on this car.
I have requested him that AEI & Rehabilitation given their certificate to support this, so please consider my request.
I have submitted all my health check-up reports, eye sight , hearing test , mental health & Orthopaedic Doctor certificate saying I am fit for driving automatic vehicle , So please consider my request & give road tax exemption for automatic vehicle purchased by me .
I have also explained that court have given order to give exemption for automatic vehicle by disabled person and also some other states given automatic vehicle to disabled person & also given road tax exemption to him.
But no one listening my request to give road tax exemption for automatic vehicle purchased by left leg disabled person (me), so please understand & help.
My earing is very less & I have seven membered family—my old father (Aged -80+) & my two small kids, 2 unmarried sisters & my wife, all are dependent on me, so please understand & help.
My area code for vehicle registrations is MH46 & RTO centre is in Kalamboli (New Mumbai) , So please help.
Please ask them to give applicable road tax exemption to me & process my applications ASAP. I will be highly obliged.
Thanking you

Dear Editor
I am planning to purchase a car( auto gear) with modification suitable for lift leg disabled woman. i wants modification a car as like Active Honda.. Can you please specify which car manufacture do these types of modifications.
You please consult nearest RTO Office. They will suggest the Car garage or any workshop which is authorized by your State Government for alteration of Car for disabled persons. You purchase a car and before Registration get it modified according to your convenience and issue a certificate. Take that certificate alongwith disabled certificate go to RTO office and get the Registration. Road Tax will be exempted. You have to a small amount of Road Tax.
What is the exciser duty on an imported car. The reason is that many times an imported car suits the driver with a disability especially of the right arm as the indicator switch is on the left and auto transmission makes life much easier. I am unable to find the rebate offered in such cases.
Is the concession available for cars modified for disabled passengers as suggested by the 1st point “on cars meant for physically handicapped”? Can anyone clarify about the same? Also is it available on cars such as Tata Winger?
Dear Editor
