Toll tax Politics
Now , here is the story That Toll tax is totally ill-legal ting !
Supreme court said : on charging toll-tax under the built-operate transfer (BOT) scheme from motorists and said such a charge should not be levied for an incomplete or damaged road and also for the one that do not have an alternative route.
Justice DK Jain: "This facility cannot be just a money-making machine,"
But main Question is Why we pay Toll tax ? ?
For understanding Toll tax , we must have to know about petrol pricing and taxes on petroleum products !
We all know the basic price of petrol/diesel is half of their original prices , this actual price are due to taxes ! taxes are the money sources for infracture development !
Taxation on petroleum products is an important source of revenue for the Central Government and State Governments. Petroleum products are taxed both at the level of the center as well as at the level of State and local bodies. Central duties consist of customs and excise. Customs duty, in turn, consists of basic customs duty and additional duty of customs, also known as countervailing duty (CVD), which is equivalent to the excise duty on the same product produced domestically. Excise duty is levied on all petroleum products by the Centre whereas State Governments levy sales tax on them
NDA Govt. start NHAI Authority for National highway development but for that we all pay Rs.1 for purchasing each liter of petrol/disel !#shining India
(A special excise duty was also imposed on petrol in 1999. A special additional excise duty on petrol has also been in force since April, 2002 as surcharge for National Highway project.)
from 9.7.2004 an additional levy of Education Cess @2% has been imposed on the aggregate of all excise and customs duties. An additional excise duty of Paise 50/litre too has been imposed as road cess during 2005-06.
In 2003-04 Govt. get 7439 crores from Education cess !
(extra : The highest fuel taxes are in the United Kingdom, with fuel taxes accounting for 78 per cent of the final price )
CRI ( Central Road Fund ) fund come from Taxes of petrol pricing and they utilize it for road development , now you can simply understand that there is no need of Toll tax !
Actually toll tax is the subjected to politics not economics for India !
1.Ahmedabad - mumbai , distance about 500 kms and you have to pay nearly Rs.400 as toll tax for this route !
2.Ahmedabd-delhi , distance about 950 kms and you have to pay nearly Rs.450 as toll tax !
3.Toll tax plaza is run by mafia , they do not give toll receipt to all the vechiles and show less amount in Account book and get permission of increasing toll from respective Government !
4.Here is a interesting example of Toll politics : In our gujarat there is two route for Ahmedabad-Ambaji famous route , one is toll tax and other if free ! The free road is not in good working position so,all cars pass through toll road and the Toll company IL&FS want constant earning from this sitution ! so he give Money (bribe) to the R&B department for not issuing tender for Strenghning of the free road ! from last 3 years Toll comany enjoying this condition ! Generaly bribe is given for doing some work but in this case company give bribe for NOT TO DO ! #Incredible India !
5. Many Non-Gujarati person prise Narendra modi for well infracture of Gujarat , but it's all due to the Gujarati people and there tax money !
