News Claim: A story regarding toll taxes is spreading like wildfire on social media. In which it is asserted that a person will not be required to pay any toll tax if they go back and forth over a 12-hour period. The truth about this message has been communicated by the government via its official Twitter account.

The message, which is going viral on the social platform, says, 'If you get the slip deducted at the toll plaza, then you are asked whether you will get the slip of one side or both the sides. So, in such a situation you have to tell them to give the slip for 12 hours. If you say so, you will not have to pay money. Due to lack of information, people deduct toll tax on both sides.

The message also requests that you all spread it to everyone you know in order to raise awareness among the general population. The request below in this communication includes the name of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. The truth about this message has been communicated by the government via its official Twitter account.
