Toll Tax Rules: Now toll tax is deducted from cars using Fastag at toll plazas, the car driver who does not have Fastag is charged double the tax as fine. Often we see that some people argue about the discount at the toll plaza and demand to go for free by showing their ID. By doing this, many people standing behind get upset. Many times you must have heard that army personnel are given exemption in toll tax. Today we are going to tell you the rules regarding whether army personnel are really given exemption in toll?
Fastag is necessary
Actually, before the introduction of Fastag system, tax money was collected by stopping the car at the toll plaza. At that time, there were many people who, after showing their ID cards and arguing, would pass through the toll tax without paying. However, this is not the case now, because now it is mandatory for every car to have Fastag. If you enter without it, you will have to pay a fine.
What are the rules for army personnel?
Now coming to the question whether army personnel have to pay toll tax or not? Army personnel can get exemption at toll plazas only when they are on duty or traveling in a government vehicle. If a soldier is not on duty and is traveling in his private car, then he will not come under the ambit of exemption. In such a situation, the army personnel will have to pay toll tax, and Fastag will also be mandatory. For this, guidelines have been issued by NHAI.
This means that now like before, army personnel cannot cross the toll tax by showing their army card. They will have to install Fastag in their vehicle and like others, they will have to pay toll.
