Allahabad HC Decines Plea Claiming Road Tax Exemption Should Be Allowed For Registration And Not Purchase Of Electric Vehicles In UP

Live Law  

The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a writ petition claiming exemption from payment of road tax on an electric vehicle purchased from Jammu. The notification issued by the State government under Section 3 of the UP Motor Vehicle Taxation Act, 1997 stipulates that road tax on purchase of electric vehicles registered in the State shall be exempted from the date of notification of the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Mobility Policy, 2022 i.e. The High Court perused Section 3 and observed that it clearly reveals that the State Government may exempt either wholly or partly any motor vehicle from payment of any tax under the Act. The Court also found substance in State's argument that part of revenue is lost when vehicle is purchased from outside the State and therefore, it held, “instead of making it open-ended exemption, the State is well within its power to impose the condition of purchase of vehicle within the State.” Appearance: Advocates Abhisek Rai, Hanuman Prasad Dube and Vipul Dube for Petitioner; Standing counsel Ankur Agarwal and Nimai Dass for Respondent Case title: M/S Batra Henlay Cables v. State Of U.P.
