  9. Dear sir I have some query about exemption from toll tax. Is a defense personnel exempted from toll tax when he is on leave? And is this important the vehicle is on his own name. When a soldier purchase a personal vehicle he thought if any family member drive the vehicle and cause any accident the soldier accused in case without any crime So, maximum defense personnel purchase vehicle in his family members name. So, is toll tax is exempted for that type of defense personnel. I am very confused pl advise me thanks.
