- (a)  The  state-wise  details  of  the  user  fee  (toll)  collected  by  the  Government  on  National  Highways during the last three and current Financial Year (FY) are at 'Annexure-A'.
- (b) Yes, Sir. The details of funds allocated/spent by the Government on the development of National Highways in last three years are as under-

| Year                     |   Funds allocated for NHAI projects from toll remittances (Rs./Crores) | Funds allocated for the Permanent Bridge Fee Fund through State PWDs (Rs./Crores)   |
|--------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 2017-18                  |                                                                8462.14 | 21.42                                                                               |
| 2018-19                  |                                                                9570.13 | 04.09                                                                               |
| 2019-20 (upto May, 2019) |                                                                2650    | ------                                                                              |

In addition, Government through Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT) has received an amount of Rs. 9,681.50 crore from the concessionaire and the same has been deposited in Consolidated Fund of India (CFI). The entire proceeds of Rs.9,681.50 crore under TOT was released to National Highways authority of India  (NHAI)  during  FY  2018-19.  However,  toll  plough-back  is  a  small  component  of  the  overall allocation for the sector.

- (c) &(d) The buses of Kerala State Road Transport Corporation are not paying user fee on fee plazas of NHAI. NHAI has taken up the issue several times with the State Government and has also raised claim on  State  Government  of  Kerala  to  reimburse  the  loss  in  toll  revenue.  Further,  six  fee  plazas  under public  funded  projects  and  one  fee  plaza  under  Public  Private  Partnership  (PPP)  project  are  nonoperational in different states due to public agitation and the matter is still unresolved despite constant follow  up  of  NHAI  with  the  respective  State  Government.  The  details  of  such  fee  plazas  are  at 'Annexure-B'.
