Centre Planning To Levy 'Green Tax' On More Than 8-year-old Vehicles

Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on January 25 nodded to levy ‘Green Tax' on above eight-year-old vehicles. Sending the proposal to states and Union Territories for their comments, the aforementioned vehicles would be charged during the fitness renewal and funds be utilized for anti-pollution steps. While the old transport vehicles would be charged at 10-25%, the probable renewal and levy deadline for personal and public transport vehicles might be 15 years and lower.
