If you’re thinking about buying a Tata Punch before the end of December, there’s a special tax-free deal available.
The car can be purchased from the Canteen Stores Department (CSD), where only 14% GST is charged for soldiers, instead of the regular 28%.
This means soldiers save a lot of tax when buying a car from CSD.
For example, the Tata Punch Pure variant costs ₹5.60 lakh at CSD, while its regular price is ₹6.13 lakh.
This means a savings of ₹53,000 on the base variant. Depending on the model, savings can go up to ₹1.30 lakh.
