UP govt and school buses in NCR to get border tax relief

Lucknow/New Delhi: In a move that will provide relief to scores of people across the National Capital Region (NCR), the Uttar Pradesh cabinet on Tuesday approved the proposal under which state transport and school buses registered in the NCR will no longer have to pay tax when crossing the border of another member state. UP is the last state to take such a decision among the four member states in the NCR.The decision to impose tax only once on vehicles plying between NCR areas, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan, was taken by the NCR Planning Board (NCRPB) on August 31, 2021. In UP, this facility is being extended to cabs, taxis and auto rickshaws for which approval was given in 2009.
