(3) The Aggregator shall be permitted to charge a fare 50% lower than the
base fare and a maximum Surge Pricing of 1.5 times the base fare specified under
Clause 13(1) hereinabove. This will enable and promote asset utilization which
has been the fundamental concept of transport aggregation and also substantiate
the dynamic pricing principle, which is pertinent in ensuring asset utilization in
accordance with the market forces of demand and supply.
(4) The Driver of a vehicle integrated with the Aggregator shall receive at
least 80% of the fare applicable on each ride and the remaining charges for each
ride shall be received by the Aggregator. The State Government may by way of
a notification direct 2% over and above the fare towards the state exchequer for
amenities and programmes related for Aggregator operated vehicles, which have
been helpful in reducing traffic congestion to a great extent and subsequently
reducing pollution. These amenities and programmes may include but not be
limited to, state sponsored driver welfare programmes, road safety awareness
workshops and activities, pollution control programmes, allotment of parking
spaces in certain proportion of large parking areas for vehicles integrated with
an Aggregator, electric charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and related
matters.
(5) In States where the city taxi fare has not been determined by the State
Government, an amount of Rs. 25/30 shall be the base fare for the purposes of
fare regulation under this Clause 12. Similar fare fixation shall be done by the State
Government of other vehicles integrated by Aggregators within the relevant State.
(6) For the purposes of motor cabs, fare regulation under this Clause 12 shall
only be applicable for motor cabs not exceeding 4 meters of length of below engine
capacity of 1500cc diesel or petrol. Fare regulation provided under this Clause 12
shall not be applicable to electric vehicles.
(7) No passenger shall be charged for dead mileage (except when the distance
for availing the ride is less than 3 kms as mentioned under Clause 13(2) hereinabove)
and the fare shall be charged only from the point of boarding to the point of
alighting.
14. Cancellation of Rides
(1) On cancellation of a booking by a Driver, subsequent to accepting a ride
on the App, a penalty of 10% of the total fare not exceeding Rs. 100, shall be
imposed, when such cancellation is made without such valid reason that shall be
stipulated by the Aggregator on its Website and on the App.
(2) On cancellation of a booking by a Rider, subsequent to booking a ride
on the App, a penalty of 10% of the total fare not exceeding Rs. 100, shall be
