Dear Sirs,
On payment of toll at the Khaniwade Toll Plaza, the receipt makes a mention that the toll is being collected "as per Notification No. SO 403(E) dtd 5th Feb 2009" for the section "Manor Dahisar section on NH-8 kms 439 to 502kms." I own a Tata207DI pick up truck which is categorised as a light commercial vehicle and made to pay Rs.78/- (single) or Rs.118/- (multiple for 24hrs.). In essence, as I stay in Mumbai and have got a farm at Deherja, Vikramgad taluka, which is 20kms off the highway from Mastan Naka/Manor, I end up paying Rs.35/- at Dahisar and less than 30kms later Rs.78/- for the next 30kms. i.e. till Manor, which works out to Rs.113/- each way.
When I requested for a copy of this notification it was unavailable with the Toll Plaza attendants. On searching for the same on the net, I only managed to find "S.O. 3110(E) published in Gazette of India dated the 4th December, 2009, regarding acquisition of land for building, maintenance, management and operation of National Highway No. 8 (Surat Manor Tollway Project) in the State of Maharashtra" on the National Highways Authority Of India site. So I would like to know on what basis am I being made to pay such high toll on NH 8.

Ajai. Was this information helpful? |
