The Gujarat Motor Transport Vehicles Toll Act, 1992
The Gujarat Motor Transport Vehicles Toll Act, 1992 empowers the Gujarat state government to levy and collect a toll on commercial transport vehicles registered outside the state whenever they enter Gujarat. It applies to operators, drivers, and owners of out-of-state buses, taxis, and goods carriers. State authorities can set up border barriers, stop and inspect vehicles, and detain non-compliant vehicles or impose monetary penalties if the toll is unpaid. This law helps Gujarat generate revenue from out-of-state commercial traffic utilizing its road infrastructure while allowing for reciprocal agreements with other states and tax exemptions under specific circumstances.
