This law establishes a dedicated tax, known as a cess, on the sale of petrol, diesel, and natural gas within the state of Tripura. It applies to fuel manufacturers, importers, and registered dealers, requiring them to register, maintain detailed accounts, and pay the prescribed levy at a single stage of sale. The collected revenue is directed into a specialized Road Development Fund earmarked specifically for building and improving state road infrastructure. By creating structured regulatory oversight, inspection powers, and interest penalties for delayed payments, the legislation ensures dedicated financial resources to upgrade regional transportation networks while providing clear guidelines and appeal processes for businesses.
