Tender process has been started for levying cess
The official said that two-wheelers, electric and CNG vehicles, vehicles registered in Uttarakhand, vehicles engaged in essential services like ambulance and fire brigade will be exempted. Joint Commissioner (Transport) Sanat Kumar Singh said that the tender process has been started to implement the system of levying cess. He said that ‘Our target is to start this system by the end of December.’ He said that automatic number plate recognition cameras will identify vehicles registered outside Uttarakhand and the money will be deducted directly from the FASTag wallet of the vehicle owners.

The Joint Commissioner said that three wheeler vehicles will be charged Rs 20, four wheeler Rs 40, mid size vehicles like small trucks etc. Rs 60 and heavy vehicles Rs 80. The officer said that green cess will be charged on the basis of one day’s entry, but vehicle owners will also have the option to take long term passes. For example, for quarterly pass, 20 times the daily charge will have to be paid and for annual pass, 60 times the fee will have to be paid.
What will change for those going to Uttarakhand?
Right now, when you go to Uttarakhand from Delhi, UP or any other state, you have to pay toll tax on the highway on the way. But now after the new system is started, automatic number plate recognition cameras will be installed in the areas connected to the border of Uttarakhand state. These cameras will identify outside vehicles and deduct the prescribed green cess from the fastag. This will make your travel expensive. Starting this system from December will have the biggest impact on the vehicles going to different parts of Uttarakhand on New Year.
