The Himachal Pradesh Tolls (Second Amendment) Act, 2002

Tax200216 sections

This Act amends the Himachal Pradesh Tolls Act to regulate the levy and collection of tolls on road infrastructure like bridges and tunnels. It applies to mechanical vehicles such as trucks and cars, determining payment rates through official schedules. The law establishes procedures for toll inspectors to accept daily, quarterly, or annual tokens that allow vehicle passage without recharging at other barriers for the specified period. It also validates toll operations conducted before its enactment and formally designates toll collectors as public servants to ensure legal authority and transparency in state toll collection practices.
