Travelling in autorickshaws and taxis has become a costlier affair. But to add to the annoyance, electronic meters show a different denomination while tariff cards read something else. This is the reason why autorickshaw and taxis owners are being made to recalibrate their e-meters.

The transport department had given them a 45-day deadline for the recalibration of e-meters. But the deadline, which is today, seems to be a fallacy as the government instead of levying fines and taking action (as mentioned by Hakim Committee report), has decided to allow the drivers to recalibrate in the coming week as well.
