28 Sept 2019 News : Centre may ask states to levy more tax on older vehicles https://lnkd.in/f_qB6_s Extract : The Centre is likely to ask states to increase road taxes for older vehicles to make it harder for them to ply, according to officials aware of the development. This could be done in the form of a tiered structure, where the road taxes shift to a higher slab when ages of vehicles cross a pre-defined threshold of about 15 years ------------------------------------------------ It seems Govt wants to use " Age of a vehicle " as a proxy for the " harmful emission quantity generated by a given vehicle " Just one parameter - and that too represented by a proxy ! How about using NaviC based GPS to automatically determine the HARM QUOTIENT of 230 million vehicles , by implementing : Transport : an Integrated Logistic Plan ? https://lnkd.in/fep8UKZ
