A BRTA tax token is an important document to certify your vehicle registration and compliance with the road transport rules and regulations of Bangladesh. It is mandatory for all motor vehicles plying on the roads of Bangladesh. Not renewing it is also no small mistake, as a case can be filed against the vehicle and owners can be fined for driving around with an expired token. Thankfully, this particular task no longer requires long queues at BRTA offices.
First, check your outstanding fees
It’s nice to know what you owe before you pay. Alternatively, you can check your pending BRTA fees from the registered vehicle fees page of the BRTA Service Portal by providing details of your vehicle registration. This step prevents underpayment and unnecessary duplicate charges.
Payment via BRTA Service Portal
The simplest way online is through the official government portal. BRTA Tax Token Online Payment: You can pay your BRTA tax token online through the official BRTA Service Portal (commonly known as BSP) or other authorised platforms. Log in using your registered account, choose the tax token renewal service, verify your vehicle details, and go to the payment gateway to finish the transaction.
Pay with bKash
For most car owners, mobile financial services have significantly accelerated this process. Car owners, drivers and sellers can pay their car license, ownership registration and tax token renewal fee through bKash directly at the BRTA Service Portal and get their tax token at their doorstep. The gross transaction amount will be charged with a convenience charge of 1.5 per cent. bKash is the only payment partner where it will print the tax token and also arrange home delivery for the benefit of customers.
Options for delivery and pickup
Once your payment clears you may choose to collect your physical token as follows: You can get the tax token either at your home or collect it immediately from your nearest bKash customer service center. For home delivery, a 50-taka delivery charge applies across the country, and tokens purchased physically can be collected on the same day between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM (excluding Fridays and public holidays), while home deliveries are usually delivered within three to seven days after payment.
Nagad Pay
Another mobile-first alternative to visiting a BRTA office in person is to renew your tax token and pay the fee thru the Nagad app. The process is pretty much similar to bKash – select the BRTA payment option within the app, enter your vehicle registration number, check the due amount and pay with your PIN.
What You Pay
The fee for renewing the tax token varies depending on the type of vehicle and the engine capacity. If it is a motorcycle, the fee varies depending on the size of the engine. Private car owners must renew their token once a year and the fee depends on the size of the engine of their car. Please check the current fee calculator of the BRTA Service Portal before making payment as the rates are revised periodically.

A few things to check twice
Make sure your vehicle information is accurate and verify your payment status again after the fact so you won’t have any issues with your registration. Please preserve the transaction receipt or SMS confirmation until you receive the physical token. If the payment is not reflected within a day or two, please use the transaction verification tool on the BRTA website to check the status before making another payment.
