The Haryana Mechanical Vehicles (Levy of Tolls) Act, 1996
The Haryana Mechanical Vehicles (Levy of Tolls) Act, 1996, establishes the legal framework for the Haryana State Government to levy and collect tolls on mechanical vehicles using specific road infrastructure, such as bridges, tunnels, flyovers, and bypasses. It authorizes the government to appoint toll collectors, including private agents, to manage these facilities and collect fees. Crucially, the Act explicitly excludes National Highways and certain urban road links from these tolls. It mandates that vehicle operators pay the required toll and obtain a receipt, while providing the government with powers to enforce payment, set penalties for evasion, and grant specific exemptions.
