What monetary penalty did NHAI impose on the user fee collection agency at the Bijwasan Fee Plaza?
- A.Rs 5 lakh
- B.Rs 10 lakh
- C.Rs 15 lakh
- D.Rs 25 lakh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 15 lakh. Along with debarring M/s Riddhi Siddhi Associates from any ongoing or future tender of the authority for one month, NHAI imposed a penalty of that amount on the firm for the misbehaviour of its personnel with road users. Options A, B and D give figures that do not appear anywhere in the order and are placed around the real number so that a candidate who half remembers the amount cannot pick it by shape alone. Note the separate and heavier step the authority also took: a show cause notice was issued proposing that the agency, along with its owners and directors, be kept out of future NHAI tenders for one year. The authority said it follows a zero-tolerance approach to misconduct or indiscipline at toll plazas.
