Toll tax exemption is NOT repeat NOT available to retired personnel : Veteran Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS Retd.

Toll tax exemption is NOT repeat NOT available to retired personnel
This issue keeps cropping up every year or so.Some officers are again circulating a letter purportedly issued by the NHAI in which it has been stated that retired defence personnel are entitled to toll exemption.The above mentioned letter is fake. Please do not embarrass yourself or the service by using it or fighting with toll barrier staff on its basis. This has been clarified by me time and again.An excerpt of a news report wherein the subject was dealt with by the Supreme Court is also floating around. The said judgement was related to the private vehicles of serving personnel only and had no relevance to retired personnel. The Supreme Court had upheld toll exemption to the private vehicles of serving defence personnel only.
