I was passing through the cantonment area unaware that I have to pay any tax. Two young goons followed our vehicle, made us stop, abused us, threatened my old aged dad. The crime we had committed was not to pay VET because they were hiding behind bushes to make up for the commission they get after fine. I have never in entire Maharashtra seen such mannerless and arrogant guys. They were ready to hit me, just because I refused to pay fine and pay the VET instead. This kind of power and privilege to non-government officials to threaten common man is ridiculous. Shame on you guys.

Nothing but plain extortion from unwary travellers coming to pune.
blue billboard has a whole lot of information which you are expected to read while you are driving and not concentrate on road.
the employees at the booth will not stop the vehicle, but they will have their collectors deployed on bike to charge you a Rs250 fine as that way they collect more money instead of the just Rs50 entry fee.
no barricades to stop you or signs indicating there is toll booth ahead, because as per them they are not like the toll plaza people to stop the vehicles and you should have been careful and read their board put in one corner with so much of information whilst you are navigating your way.
no proper channel to teach these people a lesson as all of them are hand in gloves with this so called entry fee.

We need to follow this rules while passing the Cantonment Areas in Pune only. When their vehicle passes from IRB like tolls/ express way they exempted. what an irony.
They should be fair jusitice

Daylight robbery!! The toll booth is extremely deceptively placed...Any first time traveller is bound to miss it...and when u do, there are 2 staff who intercept u on 2 wheelers and straight away demand for a penalty Rs 250 instead of the normal Rs 60. I[censored] challenge them then they threaten not to allow the car to move out...and start speaking in an unruly manner which is really scary.
Its a well planned trap.
Recently faced this challenge and had to call police to sort the matter and help which cost us more than 3 hrs and eventually lengthened our travel time.
After lodging a complaint with the nearest police station they agreed to let go o[censored]s n charged the regular toll fee.
I wonder how many people would actually take the extra effort to follow such procedures with so much already going on in our lives.
After stopping our vehicle, within minutes they stopped atleast 3 to 4 more. All falling prey to this well organized operation. N all of tgem after little or no arguement paid the penalty of Rs250.
They are nothing but a bunch of thieves operating with a well established system of extortion.
The entire company needs to be legaly penalised and action needs to be taken, to stop them from continuing this wrong practice.

Yes. This extortion needs to be stopped. The Vasuli Bhai are looking like Gunda and they stop us with rude manner and do not care if the family or children are there or not. Pune Cantonment Board toll booth needs to be closed. I tried to do zagda once, but found that they had more human power and more time than me. So I paid the fine and went away. PCB needs to look into this issue.
Faced a similar issue. Was adamant on note posting the fine. I told i am ready to pay the entry fee. The goon kept arguing then i called police control room and he ran away.
