Haryana govt launches National Permit Scheme
Ambala, August 8 Of the total amount, truckers paid Rs 3,500 as goods tax and Rs 1,500 as road tax. Operators were not allowed to take the vehicle beyond the permitted states. If they had to enter any other state they had to obtain permit at the border post of the concerned state which led to a wait of several days. The operator had to pay Rs 5,000 in each state. According to sources, at times, they had to pay Rs 60,000 for a journey. By paying a composite fee of Rs 15,000, transporters can now go to any part of the country. The transport department sources said under the new scheme a truck operator would have to obtain a challan from the State Bank of India for Rs 15,000 and produced it at the Regional Transport Office to get the permit. According to the new system, operators can take fresh cargo to new destination which means effective utilisation of the fleet. “The Transport Ministry has also completed the process of opening of a national permit account at the SBI with the approval of Controller General of Accounts to facilitate collection of such consolidated fee and subsequent distribution,” the sources said. According to the sources, the Centre has agreed to compensate the state if they suffer any monetary loss by adopting the new scheme. The revenue of the state for issuing permits to trucks is estimated around Rs 232 crore. “It will be divided among the states according to their share in the transport. Haryana has a share of 6.7 per cent of goods transport and the Centre will pay this amount to Haryana,” the sources added. To check the payment of consolidated fee and subsequent devolution of funds with the SBI, a statement shall be sent to the Transport Commissioner, Haryana, who in turn will consolidate the date in respect of all national permit issuing authorities in the state and send the same to the Transport Ministry on a weekly basis. |
