TOLL POST,LOWER MUNDA
The Toll Post, Lower Munda was established in the year 1989 and was inaugurated
by then Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah. The Toll Post is situated about 10
Kms from Jawahar Tunnel on the Kashmir side and is known as the gateway to
the valley of Kashmir.
The Toll Post is charged with the responsibility of collecting basic Toll from
the vehicles (Heavy Vehicles as well as Light Vehicles) coming from Jammu in the
import side and from the vehicles going outside the valley upto Jammu and beyond
Lakhanpur in the export side. The responsibility has increased manifold due to

Toll at Banihal in the Import Side are now charged Toll at this Toll Post.

over the time increased upto to about Rs. 22.48 Crores ending
March 2016. The
establishment consists of Excise and Taxation Officer, Excise, Excise
