Andhra Pradesh Lorry Owners Seek Penalty Waiver on Vehicle Tax

The Hindu · india

The Andhra Pradesh Lorry Owners’ Association has requested the State government to extend the deadline for quarterly vehicle tax payment to November 30 without penalties. Citing recent cyclones, heavy rains, and floods, the association highlighted the severe impact on the transport business in districts like Srikakulam and the Godavari regions. Flooded roads disrupted operations, leaving many vehicles stranded. Lorry owners are already facing increased costs from rising diesel prices, maintenance, and toll charges, making the natural calamities a further financial strain. The extension aims to prevent additional burdens for owners.
