The Indian Tolls (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 1942

Tax19424 sections

This Act is a specific legislative amendment to the Indian Tolls Act, 1851, applicable within the jurisdiction of Tamil Nadu. Its primary purpose is to empower the State Government to outsource the collection of road or bridge tolls to private entities, legally referred to as "farmers." By amending Sections 2, 3, and 9 of the original 1851 Act, it equates these private contractors and their employees with government officers for the purpose of toll collection. This allows the government to manage infrastructure revenue more flexibly. For citizens, this means tolls may be collected by private companies rather than direct government employees, though the legal authority remains the same.
