Chandigarh February 10: Haryana Government has decided to grant exemption in Motor Vehicle Tax to auto  rickshaws/taxis operating within NCR as per Contract Carriage Permit issued by National Capital Region States other than the State of Haryana under Reciprocal Common Transport Agreement (Contract Carriage). This will lead to unrestricted and seamless travel of motor cabs and auto rickshaws in the NCR States and will provide better and efficient transport services to the general public in the National Capital Region.

A decision to this effect was taken in the meeting of State Cabinet which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal here today.

At present auto rickshaws/taxis registered in Haryana and having Contract Carriage Permits under the NCR Reciprocal Common Transport Agreement are not required to pay tax while entering and operating in the NCR States other than Haryana that is Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and NCT of Delhi.

The decision aims to grant similar exemption in the Motor Vehicle Tax by the State of Haryana to the auto rickshaws/taxis operating within NCR as per contract carriage permits issued by National Capital Region States other than Haryana that is Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and NCT of Delhi. Thus, no tax will be charged from such vehicles of other NCR States having Contract Carriage Permits under the NCR Reciprocal Common Transport Agreement while entering and operating in Haryana.
