50% passenger tax waived in J&K

The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Monday approved a 50 per cent rebate on passenger tax levied on various vehicles during the last fiscal year, a government spokesperson said.

This was approved in a meeting of the Administrative Council chaired by Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha.

The decision will address the needs of commercial transport operators who have suffered losses due to the Covid-induced nationwide lockdown and restrictions, the spokesperson said.
