Dear Shri Nitin Gadkariji :
In 23-24 , RFID based toll collection might reach Rs 25,000 crore . On an average , it shows an annual growth rate of 62 % over past 4 years , but for the current year , it has slowed down to 32 %
To this , add the estimate that this toll tax gets collected from , no more than 5 % of our 32.6 crore vehicles , which use our Highways . Remaining 95 % of vehicles , either ply on city streets or on highways not subject to any toll
Now imagine following scenario :
Ø All 32.6 crore vehicles are made to pay tax ( what I have called, TRANS-TAX based on pollution generated by each type of vehicle )
Ø TRANS-TAX is collected ( from each vehicle ) , no matter WHERE it is plying
Ø It is collected 24x365 days ( every hour )
Ø It is collected AUTOMATICALLY ( by deduction from a pre-paid / vehicle-linked account )
Ø There is no HUMAN INTERVENTION in the collection process
Under such a scenario , following can be expected :
Ø There will be dramatic shift to less polluting vehicles ( EVs / Hibrids / Hydrogen based ) – without need for incentivizing manufacturers or subsidizing vehicle owners
Ø More people will start travelling by PUBLIC transport ( which cause less pollution )
Ø More people will travel less ( more Work from Home )
Ø There will be less traffic congestion ( less of PEAK traffic situations )
Ø Annual tax collection could well rise by 100 times to Rs 25 Lakhxcrore in 2025-26
I urge you to consider implementation of suggestion made by me in my following email :
