RTI Application for Toll Collection
Toll is collected based on a contract, which include the terms and conditions of issuance of Passes to the residents of nearby areas and toll charges fixed for various types of vehicles. Contracts are mostly for a specified period or collection of a particular amount to meet cost of construction, annuity charges, running maintenance cost and element of profit, during agreed maintenance period. But the agencies may continue to collect toll charges much beyond the agreed limits.
There are cases, where the Agreement is for a specified period, but the cost of construction is collected within first one or two years, however, the agency continue to collect same Toll charges from citizens based on erroneous estimation and fixing of Toll Charges by the authorities regulating such Toll Collection. Therefore, in such cases, it is necessary for the public authority concerned to reassess and refix the toll charges so as to spread the collection to the agreed period, when time is the essence of that contract. Citizens paying Toll charges are entitled to know such details of the Contract as also the discrepancies or illegalities involved.
Please prefer an RTI Application before the PIO of the authority granted the Contract and seek information as detailed below:
