The Bihar Motor Transport Vehicles Toll Act, 1992
Tax199211 sections
This Act regulates the levy and collection of entry tolls on commercial motor transport vehicles registered outside Bihar when plying into the state. It applies to vehicle operators, drivers, and permit holders of out-of-state buses, commercial passenger vehicles, and goods carriers entering Bihar. The law empowers the state government to establish border barriers, appoint toll tax officers, collect daily tolls up to a prescribed limit, and detain non-compliant vehicles or impose penalties. This legislation matters because it generates revenue for the state from external commercial traffic using local road infrastructure while providing a legal framework to control interstate vehicle entry.
