What Is Vehicle Advertisement Fee?

Under Kerala motor vehicles taxation and municipal display provisions, commercial advertisements exhibited on transport vehicles—including route buses, auto-rickshaws, delivery vans, and commercial trucks—are subject to a prescribed advertisement fee.

The fee is assessed based on the total surface area of the advertisement display frame or vinyl wrapping, the illumination media type (electronic digital displays vs writing / static advertisements), and the duration of display.

Calculation Methodology & Area Slabs

1. Display Surface Area

The total display area is calculated in square centimetres (Length in cm × Breadth in cm). For wrap-around fleet displays, each individual panel area is summed.

2. Media Type Rate

Electronic LED display screens and illuminated digital signboards are calculated based on electronic advertisement tariff slabs, whereas static vinyl prints follow standard commercial vehicle advertising slabs.
