Uttarakhand Delays Central Fitness Fee Hike for Old Commercial Vehicles
The Uttarakhand government has postponed the increase in fitness test fees for 15-year-old commercial vehicles until November 2026.
This is to provide relief to vehicle owners in the state who would have faced a sudden additional financial burden due to a recent central government increase.
The new rates will be implemented based on future central government revisions.
