Every customer has to pay road tax while purchasing a new train in India. This tax increases its on road price by about 10% by joining the price there. The government argues that this tax is kept in the country’s huge road networks and is spent on security services. But the big question arises that when the government takes a road tax while buying a car, then why is a separate toll tax charged on the National Highway.

The real purpose of road tax

Regarding road tax, the government says that it is used on road lights, signals, security services and first aid facilities. Also, new highways and expressways are also expanded with this money. This tax is mandatory under Section 39 of the Motor Vehicle Taxation Act 1988 and this has to pay a lump sum at the time of taking the vehicle owner.

Then why toll tax?

It is here that the biggest question arises in the minds of the general public. If the government is already taking money through road tax, then why is a separate toll tax from passengers to walk on the National Highway. The Ministry of Road Transport argues that the toll is actually taken to remove the cost of highway construction and the maintenance spent on it. Many projects are completed by taking loans and the recovery of tolls continues for long time for interest payments on them.

Complaints reached court

Actually, it has been seen many times that toll collection starts without making the road completely. The Supreme Court recently asked the National Highway Authority of India the same question as to why the roads are incomplete, why is the toll charged. The court said that it is playing with the trust of the public. The Kerala High Court also stayed toll collection for four weeks in one case.

Government’s new preparations

The Union Road Transport Ministry had recently made a big proposal, under this, if the two -taken road is being converted into four lanes, then the toll should be reduced to half during the construction. So far, the toll on such roads is 60% of the normal rate, but the ministry is working on a plan to reduce it to 30%.

How much relief to the public

In view of the complaints of the people, the government has already taken several steps. An annual toll pass of 3000 which private vehicles can cross 200 toll plazas. In addition, up to 50% deduction in tolls for heavy vehicles on bridges, tunnels and flyovers. Despite this, the question is the same when road tax is already charged on every vehicle, then why is the issue of toll tax separately separately today remains a matter of debate across the country.
