The Bihar government has modified its decision regarding toll tax collection on state highways. Private four-wheeler vehicles will now be exempt from paying toll, while the new policy will only apply to commercial vehicles with yellow number plates.
The Bihar government has announced a significant alteration to its recently implemented toll tax policy for state highways. Following public opposition, the administration has decided to exempt private four-wheeler vehicles from paying toll.
The revised policy now mandates that toll tax will only be collected from commercial vehicles, specifically those identified by their yellow number plates. This change aims to alleviate the financial burden on private vehicle owners while ensuring revenue collection from commercial transport that utilizes state infrastructure.
This adjustment comes after the initial decision to levy toll on all vehicles faced considerable protest, prompting the government to reconsider and revise its approach to the new toll collection system.
