The decision was taken in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic as commercial vehicles were not used for at least 6 months due to the lockdown. Transport operators will not have to pay a penalty or interest.

It has been reported that various public transport associations had voiced their demands as operators were not in a position to pay the full annual road tax as most vehicles could not ply due to the lockdown. Therefore, the government has decided to offer a tax waiver as compensation.

There shouldn't be any road tax at all, except OTT like private vehicles. We cannot continue to punish businesses for moving goods/people and generating employment.
