purposes are exempted for payment of motor vehicles tax. But, the

or Tipping Trailer of registered farmers of this Union territory of
Puducherry which is exclusively used for transporting agricultural
produce from the payment of tax under the Puducherry Motor Vehicles
Taxation Act, 1967 (Act 5 of 1967), by amending section 14 of this
said Act.
2. For the above purpose, it is decided to introduce a Bill titled
as "The Puducherry Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Bill, 2018".
