Bengaluru: Two big Bollywood stars, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, recently came into controversy when Karnataka officials imposed a total fine of ₹ 38 lakh for not paying lifetime road tax on their expensive imported luxury cars. The case is years old and after the last one case, it has now again come into the discussion, where these two actors as well as Rekha also had to pay a fine of ₹ 5- ₹ 5 lakh for a similar lapse in 2017. The fine has been imposed for luxury cars that were brought to Karnataka for shooting objectives, and lifetime road tax was not paid on them. Under the Karnataka Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1957, it is mandatory to fill lifetime road tax on all luxury cars used within the state for a certain period. This incident sets an example not only for celebrities but also to the general public how much is necessary to follow government rules, even if it is related to payment of taxes. Although it is not clear what has been the reaction of these actors or their representatives on this fine, the matter underlines the importance of compliance with the rules and taxation.
