NHAI — Toll charging on Exempted Persons

Address:

Rohtak, Haryana

Hi, I am a defense personnel and used to travel from Jhajjar to Panipat in Haryana state via NH-71. There is toll near to village DIGHAL. Since the toll is operational they are exempting me every time being as a defense personnel. But during Dec & Jan they start charging me toll fees. In Jan it was advertised in newspaper that defense personnel are exempted and need not to pay toll fees. Now on 3 Apr 2015 while crossing they again asked me for toll fee. They said that their company had started charging everyone from Apr 1 2015 onwards. That day i was coming from jaipur and passed many Tolls on the same route. None charged me anywhere. They start arguing with me. Even after talking with their higher authorities I didn't get any satisfactory response. While discussing all this with authorities on toll, they are simply exempting many vehicles basis on their relation and Names. When a defense personnel is exempted by Central Government during travel then why this particular toll is charging without any legal notice or any order.
