[New Delhi]Now,ADA Also Mulling To Hike Entry Fee For Taj Mahal
Entry fee to World Heritage Monument Taj Mahal is likely to go up again as the Agra Development Authority (ADA) has proposed an increase in its share, weeks after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) effected a steep hike in ticket cost.
Entry ticket to Taj Mahal consists of two components ASI fee and ADA charge, called ‘toll tax’. Agra is the only place in the country where such ‘toll tax’ is collected from visitors to historical monuments.
From April 1, ASI had effected a three-fold increase in its share in the entry ticket for the 32 World Heritage Monuments, including Taj Mahal, to Rs 30 from Rs 10 for domestic visitor, while it was raised by 100 per cent to Rs 500 from Rs 250 for a foreign national.
At present, a foreigner pays Rs 1,000 as entry fee for Taj Mahal with ASI and ADA bagging Rs 500 each, while domestic visitors shell out Rs 40 — Rs 30 as ASI fee and Rs 10 ADA charge.
