KTM Marathahalli charging ₹3,087 for “RSA / Mandatory Kit”. Is this actually mandatory or am I being scammed?
Hey guys,
I’m in the process of buying a KTM 390 Adventure S from KTM Marathahalli (Kihvraj Elixir) in Bangalore.
I received this pro-forma invoice, and there’s a charge of ₹3,087 listed as “RSA / MANDATORY KIT.”
This immediately seemed suspicious to me because they’ve clubbed RSA and a “mandatory kit” together without giving me a proper breakup of what exactly I’m paying for.
The on-road quotation is:
Ex-showroom: ₹4,04,294
RTO + registration: ₹88,965
Insurance: ₹27,141
RSA / Mandatory Kit: ₹3,087
Total: ₹5,23,487
I understand that RTO/registration charges are unavoidable, and I’m also planning to arrange my own insurance.
But is this ₹3,087 actually mandatory? Is RSA mandatory for registering/buying the bike, or is this simply a dealer/company add-on being presented as mandatory?
Has anyone recently bought a KTM from KTM Marathahalli/Kihvraj Elixir and faced the same thing?
I’m happy to pay legitimate charges, but I don’t want to be forced into an add-on just because it’s labelled “mandatory.”
