Respected nha,
I am an ex service officer owning my private vehicle. I find it difficult to pay the huge toll amount. While ex servicemen have rendered their whole life to serve our nation and are considered for concession and special facilities in many areas, it is pity to note that they are not considered for toll concession by the national highway authority of india.
Following is suggested for consideration and implementation.
1. Consider exemption of toll tax to all ex-servicemen owning a private vehicle (Cars & two wheelers only) registered on their name.
2. Commercial vehicles/taxi/auto owned by ex-servicemen should not be considered
3. Nha can consider issuing of a special pass to the vehicles (As in 1) after collecting a nominal fee. The toll pass should contain the following information.
(A) name rank and age of the ex-serviceman.
(B) the name of the corps (Army/navy/airforce)
(C) the registered vehicles number.
(D) photograph of the ex-serviceman and the photograph of the vehicle with the number plates visible
(E) the certificate should be printed on a watermark sheet of national highway authority of india
(F) signature of the nha with official stamp.
4. The toll pass should be valid for minimum 5 years, and should be renewed thereafter.
The ex-serviceman driving or travelling in their own car should carry the original identity card/discharge certificate, and to be produced if demanded by the toll plaza staff.
If the authorities are not willing to consider the above for all ex servicemen, the nha may consider toll exemtion to all the senior ex-servicemen who are above 60 years of age.,

Updated by Navysundar If my suggestion is not considered, following may please be considered.
"Please consider collection of a standard token toll tax of Rs.20 at every toll plaza as a concession and favour to all ex-servicemen who have rendered day and night service to safeguard the security of India over the land, sea and air.
I am Fast Tag user and has been debited twice on the same toll within minutes.
Please let me know how to get my money back?
Details are attached.
