You can refuse to pay the extra road tax. The tax is applicable as per the invoice purchase amount only. The RTO cannot demand extra money at his whims and fancies. Ask him to demand the same in writing quoting the relevant rules in this regard, which can be challenged in the court of law accordingly.

Legally will I win if I go to court as in reality they are asking me to pay tax on money which I did not pay

The demand made by the RTO is unjustified and unlawful.

You can challenge the case and may get a judgment in your favor.
