Vehicles owned by disabled to be exempt from toll charges
Till now only the vehicles especially designed for the use by such persons were exempted from paying toll tax in India. This was limited to only for the vehicles modified for the use by a PwD and such vehicles were defined as “invalid carriage” in the Central Motor Vehicle Act.
Now all vehicles owned by the “divyangjan” (persons with disabilities) will be allowed for free ride across NH network. Such persons will need to get a “zero transaction” or free FASTag for their vehicles from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The road transport and highways ministry has notified this provision to exempt such vehicles from paying toll charges in the NH Fee Rules.
