(b) with the previous sanction of3[the Officer Commanding-in-Chief, the Command, and] the4[State Government concerned], enter into an agreement with any other to cal authority regarding the levy of any tax or toll whereby the said tax or toll respectively leviable by the5[Board and by such other to cal authority] may be levied together instead of separately within the limits of the6[area subject to the control of the Board and such other to cal authority (hereafter in this section referred to as the aggregate area)].

(i) shall have the same powers to establish octroi limits and octroi stations and places for the collection of octroi,terminal tax and toll within the aggregate area as it has within the area ordinarily subject to its control;
(ii) shall have the same powers of collecting such octroi, tax or toll in the aggregate area and the provisions of any enactment in force relating to the levy of such octroi, tax or toll by it shall apply in the same manner as if the aggregate area were comprised within the area ordinarily subject to its control;]
9[(b)]10[the total of the collection of such octroi, tax or toll made in the aggregate area and the costs thereby incurred shall be divided between the cantonment fund and the fund subject to the control of such other to cal authority, in such proportion, as may have been determined by the agreement.]
