Transporters under the aegis of All India Confederation of Goods Vehicle Owners’ Associations (ACOGOA) gave a strike call for April 01, 2017, in protest of the steep hike in insurance premium, proposed exorbitant hike in penalties in the Motor Vehicle Act, and hike in RTO fees putting a fourfold burden on truck owners. Claiming that the transporter bodies AIMTC and AITWA had periodically raised the above mentioned issues among others, including the re-instatement of tariff advisory committee, constitution of inter-ministerial committee, toll related policies, clarification on GST implementation, vehicle scrappage policy, and definitive and faster implementation of digital network (online payment system) for vehicle registration, ACOGOA issued a statement on April 08, 2017, announcing the calling off of the strike following a discussion with insurance regulatory body IRDAI by truckers’ representatives. IRDAI, the statement claimed, has agreed to revise the proposed 41 per cent hike down to 27 per cent.
