Big news: Vehicles older than 8 years will be subject to green tax from now on, these will be the tax rates


Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways 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. The ministry says that 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 at the rate of road tax.





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.
