Should BS VI-compliant trucks be charged ECC? SC to hear petition
The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear on Monday a plea by a transporters' association challenging the levy of environmental compensation charges (ECC) on BS-VI pollution norm compliant heavy vehicles which was earlier applicable to BS-III and BS-IV compliant trucks for entering Delhi. Advocate Pratap S Nerwal sought urgent hearing of an application filed by the association in the M C Mehta case relating to curbing pollution, in which the SC has been exercising continuous mandamus since 1985. A bench headed by CJI B R Gavai agreed to hear the application on Monday. The truckers' association said ECC was levied on BS-III and BS-IV compliant heavy vehicles from Nov 1, 2015, based on a SC order of Oct 9, 2015. However, the ECC is still collected from even BS-VI compliant trucks and questioned its rationale. At the time of passing of the order, the intention was to curb pollution as only BS-III and IV compliant trucks were manufactured, it said. "With the technological advancements in the transport sector, heavy vehicles are now BS-VI compliant. Even at the time of implementation of this order, the diesel run buses were not subjected to ECC," it said. In Nov 2023, restriction was imposed on BS-III and BS-IV vintage vehicles while exempting BS-VI compliant trucks which means the latter category heavy vehicles were non-polluting, yet ECC is still being irrationally levied. "ECC is collected across the board from all commercial vehicles, except those carrying food and petroleum items, ambulances or govt vehicles," it said. "ECC is being collected even from BS-VI vehicles even though there is no restriction on their entry in Delhi if they are destined for Delhi. Therefore, it is a contradiction in the sense that on the one hand BS 6 vehicles have been permitted to enter Delhi, yet ECC is still being collected from such vehicles," it said.
