The government has given a big blow to companies like cab aggregators Ola and Uber. Actually, the new guidelines issued by the road-transport ministry, according to which they will not be able to charge more than 50 percent of their base fair during peak hours. Let us tell you that since the lockdown opened in the country, there were frequent complaints that cab drivers were charging the fare of Manmarji. Especially during the Ola-Uber peak hours, the fare was increasing by several times. Because of this, the government has taken this decision and created new rules.

>> Aggregators will need to get a license from the state government.
>> Also states will be able to fix fares.
>> Also the definition of aggregator is included. For this, the Motor Vehicle 1988 has been amended with the Motor Vehicle Act, 2019.
