Mohali August 17:- The central government brought scrap policy in the year 2021 for 15 years old vehicles. Now, despite the policy, those who do not remove their old vehicles from the roads will now be able to run their vehicles on the roads only by paying Green Tax.
In the 2022 elections, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was stopped at many places by motorists and asked not to implement this policy. The Chief Minister also assured that he will not bring such a policy. Now a way has been taken out, which has been approved in the cabinet meeting held recently.

This much tax will have to be paid-

Vehicles--Tax

Two wheelers--500
1500cc petrol powered vehicle--Rs 3000 per year
1500 cc diesel powered car ---- 4000 rupees per annum
Petrol vehicles above 1500 cc ---- Rs 4,000 per annum
For diesel vehicles above 1500 cc ----- Rs 6,000 per annum

Commercial vehicles
Eight years old motorcycle --- Rs.250 per year
Three wheelers ----- Rs.300 per annum,
Maxi cab ---- 500 rupees per annum
Light Motor Vehicle (LMV)---- Rs 1500 Annual Tax
Medium Motor Vehicle - Rs.2000 per annum
Heavy vehicles --- Rs.2500 per annum

A senior official of the transport department said that the state government has not banned old vehicles in view of public opposition after the implementation of the scrap policy. He said that we had two objectives behind imposing green tax. First, removing old vehicles from the road to control pollution. The departmental officer said that earlier the motor vehicle tax of a 65-seat tourist bus was Rs 7000 per seat. Now Rs 2050 will be charged per seat on a normal bus, Rs 2650 on a deluxe non-AC bus, Rs 4150 on an AC deluxe bus and Rs 5,000 per seat on a super integral bus.
