VIPs Exempted From Toll Tax: If you travel on national highways, you likely pay toll tax at toll plazas. But did you know that there are some special people in the country who are not required to pay toll tax?
Their vehicles cross toll plazas without paying any tax. This exemption is not an offer; rather, it is granted to them under the law. Let’s find out who these seven people are whose vehicles pass without stopping at toll plazas.
Who are those seven people?
- President of India
- Vice President of India
- Prime Minister
- Governor (in their state)
- Chief Minister (in their state)
- Chief Justice of India and Supreme Court Judge
- Speaker of the Lok Sabha and Chairman of the Rajya Sabha
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has granted complete toll tax exemption to people holding certain positions and services. Their vehicles are not stopped at any toll plaza in the country.
How do these vehicles get the exemption?
Whenever these vehicles travel on the highway, security vehicles accompany them, signaling the arrival of a convoy. Furthermore, these vehicles also have special stickers. As soon as these stickers are captured by the toll booth camera, the employee working there becomes aware that these vehicles are exempt.
These Others Also Get Exemptions
In addition to the vehicles of these seven individuals, some other vehicles also receive exemptions. However, some operate under special circumstances. For example, when uniformed defense and police officers are on official duty, their vehicles are exempt from toll tax. Similarly, officials of the Ministry of Road Transport who are on inspection duty also receive this exemption. Furthermore, foreign state guests, ambulances, fire brigades, and hearses are also exempt from toll tax.
