A toll of Rs 200 would be collected from trucks loaded with goods or unloaded canters or multi-axle vehicles or dozers and earth movers, an official spokesman said.
In case of buses or mini buses with State carriage permits, the toll tax would be Rs 200 a trip, Rs 300 for daily pass and Rs 6,000 for monthly pass.
For buses or mini buses with contract carriage permits, it would be Rs 200 a trip including return journey. For maxi cabs, the toll tax would be Rs 20 a trip including return journey.

The Cabinet also decided to take 471 posts of Forest Guards out of the purview of Haryana Staff Selection Commission and fill these through a Departmental Committee.
The Forest Department was facing an acute shortage of staff to check illegal felling of trees and thefts and it was felt that it would take a long time to fill these posts through the Staff Selection Commission, he said.
