The Bihar Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Act, 2016
This legislation amends vehicle taxation laws in Bihar to fund and improve road safety across the state. It applies to motor vehicle owners and driving license applicants, imposing a dedicated road safety cess on vehicle purchases, annual motor vehicle taxes, and driving license issuances. The collected funds, along with government contributions and a portion of traffic fine settlements, are directed into a newly established Bihar Road Safety Fund. Managed by the State Road Safety Council, these resources directly support public awareness campaigns, safety equipment procurement, driver training, research, and emergency trauma care programs, ultimately working to reduce road accidents and save lives.
