Claim: A viral advisory states that toll tax is exempted also for the private vehicles of defence personnel.
Fact-check: Toll-fee exemption extended for Army private vehicles too? Fact Check on viral post | DigitEye India
Verdict: the letter is fake and it has many clues that give that away. according to the clarifications made by the ministry of road transport and highways, it states that exemption is available only to persons who are 'on duty' and does not pertain to retired personnel. no exemption is available on the use of a personal vehicle if it is not used for discharging any official purpose and duty, as per official records and rti replies.
