MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF DELHI

TOLL TAX DEPARTMENT

BRIEF NOTE

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi levied Toll Tax from Specified Commercial
Vehicles u/s 113(2)(g) of the DMC Act w.e.f. January 2000 and continued to collect
the same through its own employees upto 01.05.2003. The Municipal Corporation of
Delhi decided to out source the Toll Collection work to private company and
subsequently the contract of Toll Collection was awarded to a private firm M/s Banas
Sands TTC JV for a period of one year at a contract amount of Rs. 70.20 crores and
it was again allotted by competitive bids to the same company for a period of three
year w.e.f. 01.05.2004 to 01.05.2007 at the contract price of Rs. 243.57 crores (Rs.
81.19 Crores per annum). The Toll Tax Contract was further extended and continued
with M/s Banas Sands TTC JV upto 16.05.2008. The Toll Tax Contract was then
awarded to new Company M/s P.K. Hospitality Services Pvt. Ltd. (Now M/s PKSS
Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.) for the period of three years w.e.f. 16.05.2008 to
16.05.2011 through competitive bid by floating tender. At present this company is
collecting Toll Tax from specified commercial vehicles entering Delhi from various
Delhi Border Points at the contractual amount of Rs. 563,49,78,660/-. (for three
years).

It is relevant to mention that earlier there were 86 entry points and now the
number of Delhi entry points has risen to 122, out of which 2 entry points i.e. DND
Noida and NH-8 at Rajoukari Border has been integrated with the BOT operator with
the condition that in addition to collecting their own toll they will collect MCD Toll Tax
and service charge shall be paid to them by the MCD’s Contractor for toll collection
work without any financial liabilities to MCD.

The Toll Tax Bye-Laws-2007 (copy attached) were notified by Delhi Gazette
Notification No. F.33/22/99/UD/18312 dated 31.10.2007 and are fully complied with.
The Toll Tax rates levied from Specified Commercial Vehicles are transparent and
well published (copy attached). The Toll Tax rates at every Delhi Border Points. To
prevent the entry of Non-destined Delhi vehicles in compliance of Hon’ble Supreme
Court of India orders dated 06.12.2001 & dated 17.12.2004 and EPCA Committee
(headed by Sh. Bhure Lal), the MCD’s Contractor has been strictly directed to
implement the same and ensure no such vehicle would enter into Delhi.

Development Work

During the contractual period of M/s Banas Sands TTC-JV for smooth flow of
traffic eight major toll plazas were developed into computerized Toll Plazas by MCD
through its Toll Tax Contractor namely Tikri Border, KGT-Singhu Border, Kapashera
Border, Aya Nagar Border, Badarpur Border, Apsara-Shahdara Border, New Mandouli
Border and Gazipur Border. Now as per new contract provisions, the present toll
contractor has to further develop eight new important toll posts into computerized
Toll Plazas viz. Noida Major Border, Vasundhra Enclave-I Border, Mohan Nagar-I
Border, Pul Prahladpur Border, Dhansa Border, Mandi More Border, Jharoda Border
and Kalindi Kunj Border. Apart from development of Toll Plazas the MCD contractor is
supposed to upgrade/re-develop already existing eight Toll Plazas and modify 40
Temporary manual Toll Posts/Barriers as permanent Toll Posts. The other two major
borders i.e. DND Flyway and Rajoukari Border NH-8 are already computerized and
collecting Toll Tax of MCD on service charges basis.

Conclusion:-

The main objective of MCD is to provide congestion free traffic and maintain
smooth flow of traffic at Delhi Border Points. The revenue generated from Toll Tax
Collection strengthens MCD financially and allows to take development works for the
welfare of public. The development of modernised computer Toll Plazas provides
aesthetic view, smooth flow of traffic and creates good impression among the
visitors coming to Delhi.
