Punjab Motor Transport Vehicles (Toll) Act, 1992
Tax199212 sections
This Act establishes a system for the state government to collect tolls from motor transport vehicles entering Punjab. It applies specifically to operators of various types of vehicles, such as stage carriages and goods carriers, that are operating under permits issued by authorities outside the state. The law mandates the creation of barriers at state boundaries to enforce payment and prevents vehicles from entering without paying. This measure is important because it provides a dedicated revenue stream for the state to fund infrastructure and transportation services while ensuring fair contribution from out-of-state transport operators.
