The Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu Motor Vehicles Tax Act, 1974

Tax197419 sections

This Act is a local law in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu that imposes a tax on all motor vehicles operating within the territory. While vehicles used strictly for farming are exempt, virtually all others must pay. The primary purpose of this revenue is to fund the construction, improvement, and upkeep of local roads. Owners who fail to pay the tax face growing penalties that can double the amount owed, risk having their vehicles seized, or lose the permission to operate transport vehicles until the debt is cleared.
