Buddies,
I just put forward a simple question here, as we buy a new vehicle then accordingly we are told to pay road tax which is included in the price. So, for what reason do we pay toll tax when the road tax in itself is a proof that the car/bike/multi-axle is free to be driven on Indian roads. Why do different states charge toll tax when road tax for a vehicle is paid-in already? Does it really make sense for us to pay toll tax and road tax both for a single vehicle? Is toll tax really needed to be paid? The road tax that the owner pays at time of purchase also goes to govt. and the toll tax that we pay also goes to govt. Then why not the vehicle buyers in India be exempted from toll tax once road tax is paid?
Looking forward for your views.
Regards
Akash
