Should we use old vehicles after 15 years?
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has approved a proposal to impose a road green tax on old vehicles that pollute the environment. The Ministry of Road Transport and Road Transport has said it will be sent to the states for consultation before its formal implementation. At the time of fitness certificate renewal on transport vehicles older than 8 years, a green tax of 10 per cent to 25 per cent could be levied on the road tax rate, the ministry said.What cars do you not pay tax on?.
The tax will also be levied on personal vehicles older than 15 years. So, public transport vehicles like city buses etc. will have to pay less green tax. In highly polluted cities, a maximum of 50 per cent green tax can be levied on registered vehicles. However, taxes may vary depending on the fuel and the vehicle.
Apart from this, the tax will not be levied on hybrid, electric vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles such as CNG, ethanol, LPG vehicles. In addition, green tax will not be levied on agricultural vehicles such as tractors, harvesters, tillers etc.
Personal vehicles will be charged a tax at the time of renewal of Registration Certification after 15 years. The levy may differ depending on fuel (petrol/diesel) and type of vehicle. The proposal will now go to the States for consultation before it is formally notified. It includes 10-25% of road tax on transport vehicles older than eight years at the time of renewal of fitness certificate.
‘Effective April 1’
- The policy will come into effect from April 1, 2022.
In 2016, the Centre had floated a draft Voluntary Vehicle Fleet Modernisation Programme that aimed to take 28 million decade-old vehicles off the road. A panel of secretaries suggested the scheme may combine a phased regulatory approach for capping the life of vehicles along with stricter emission norms.
