The Government collects an insane amount of tax through GST and Road Tax, including GST on insurance. All of this is based on the assumption that a vehicle can be used for 15 years, with renewal allowed every 5 years thereafter. But when @nitin_gadkari unilaterally decides to ban diesel vehicles older than 10 years in Delhi, will he return one-third of the taxes collected? Many people have taken car loans to purchase these vehicles, and the interest paid over time is often equivalent to the GST itself. All of this will go in vain. It is a massive loss of value and wealth destruction. If the Government truly wants to curb pollution, it should conduct proper pollution checks and prove that a vehicle is indeed polluting. Most cars, even after 15 years, remain well within the prescribed emission norms. We are challenging the Government should carry out sampling of vehicles across different age groups, test their actual emissions, and publish the data to justify whether such a ban is necessary. What Gadkari and Modi are doing in Delhi is nothing but tremendous abuse of power. We urge people to protest this injustice. It is not just limited to Delhi, they'll push this policy in other states too.
