The government has changed the rules of fastag. Now if a car crosses toll plaza without valid and active fastag, then it will have to pay double toll fees. On the other hand, if you pay from UPI, then you will have to pay only 1.25 times the fees applicable for that vehicle category. The new rule will be applicable from November 15.
Regarding the new change, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has said that its aim is to further strengthen toll collection, bring transparency in toll collection and make the journey easier for travelers on the National Highway. According to the ministry, these rules will promote digital payment.
