BE it enacted in the Sixty-third Year of the Republic of India as follows:—

1. Short title and commencement.—(1) This Act may be called the Kerala

Tolls (Amendment) Act, 2012.

(2)

It shall be deemed to have come into force on the 28th day of

November, 2011.

2. Amendment of section 2.—In the Kerala Tolls Act, 1976 (6 of 1977)

(hereinafter referred to as the principal Act), in clause (a) of section 2, for the

words “one hundred lakhs rupees”, the words “five hundred lakhs rupees” shall

be substituted.

3. Repeal and savings.— (1) The Kerala Tolls (Amendment) Ordinance, 2012

(52 of 2012) is hereby repealed.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

As per the provisions contained in sub-section (1) of section 3 and section

3A of the Kerala Tolls Act, 1976 (6 of 1977) read with clause (a) of section 2

thereof, the Government or a local authority, may levy toll on every motor

vehicle entering a bridge constructed wholly or partly at the expense of the

State Government or the local authority, and declared open for traffic, if the cost

of its construction is not less than 100 lakhs rupees. Considering the increase in

the construction cost, toll will have to be collected even from very small bridges

as per the said provision. Government have, therefore, decided that the minimum

cost of construction of the bridge for which toll shall be levied be fixed to

rupees five hundred lakhs and to amend clause (a) of section 2 of the Kerala

Tolls Act, 1976 (6 of 1977), suitably.

State of Kerala during its Session which commenced on the 1st day of

could not be introduced in, and passed by, the Legislative Assembly of the

State of Kerala during its Session which commenced on the 11th day of

Indian the Kerala Tolls (Amendment) Ordinance, 2012 (36 of 2012) ceased to

operate on the 23rd day of July, 2012.
