Every day, crores of vehicles are seen running on the roads in India. They travel through highways and some national highways. Vehicles traveling from one state to another have to pay toll tax.

Earlier people had to stand in long queues to pay toll tax. And they had to pay toll tax by paying cash. But now it is not like that, now people do not have to stand in queues for it.

Because now the Fastag service has been started for this. Now everyone can pay toll tax with great ease through this. Through Fastrack scan, you can get out of the toll tax line in just a few seconds.

But do you know that some rules have been made for using Fastag. If you know these rules, then you will be saved from paying a hefty toll tax. Let us tell you what these rules are.

Actually, rules have been made regarding Fastag on toll tax. If a Fastag user stands at the toll for more than 10 seconds without paying the toll tax, then the toll is made free for him. He does not need to pay the toll.

Apart from this, if you are standing at a toll plaza and the line of vehicles there is more than 100 meters long, then also you can avoid paying the toll. In such a case also, the toll is made free.

Apart from this, if your house is within 20 km radius of the toll plaza, then also you do not need to pay toll, because as per the rules you can travel without paying toll. That is why keep these rules in mind and you will not have to pay extra toll tax.

Under the new rules of the government, it has been made mandatory to install Fastag on all vehicles. This step of the government is an effort to save fuel and time as well as make the toll collection process transparent.

Advantage of Fastag

Fastag is an electronic toll collection system that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. By installing Fastag on the vehicle, toll can be paid without stopping at the toll plaza. This eliminates the need for cash transactions and long queues of vehicles can be avoided.

New rules and fines for fastag

The Devendra Fadnavis government of Maharashtra has made it clear that vehicles which do not have Fastag will have to pay double the toll. This provision will ensure that drivers start using Fastag in time. This rule will apply to all private and commercial vehicles.

Government’s objective behind the new rule

The main objective of this move of the Maharashtra government is to reduce traffic jams at toll plazas, control fuel consumption and bring transparency in toll control. Along with this, the Maharashtra government is trying to promote digital payments under the Digital India campaign. The Business Standard report states that this rule will not only promote digital payments but will also make the state’s revenue collection more accurate. According to a TV9 Hindi report, this move will realize the objective of the Maharashtra government’s smart and digital toll plaza.

Challenges of the new rule of Fastag

This decision of the Maharashtra government will help in streamlining traffic at toll plazas, eliminating the need for paper transactions and saving time. However, there may be challenges in awareness and the process of purchasing Fastag in rural areas.

At the same time, people also have to stand in long lines due to toll many times. In order to remove the problems of the people, FASTags were started by the government. With this, people can cross the toll without stopping and paying. However, people should keep many things in mind regarding FASTags.

This is how money is spent

Sometime back the government introduced FASTags, which are prepaid tags fixed on vehicle windscreens that allow you to move through dedicated lanes at toll plazas without stopping. Vehicles are identified using Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) and money is then deducted from the account.

It is important to follow the rules, although you should know about the rules of FASTag. If the rules of FASTag are ignored then trouble may have to be faced. Let’s know about some rules…

First and foremost in the new rules of FASTag is that these tags have been made mandatory by the government.

If you enter the FASTag lane without the FASTag, you will be liable to pay double the toll amount.

– If your FASTag is not serviceable due to some damage to RFID or insufficient balance, you will have to pay double the toll amount.

– From April 2020, the government has made FASTag mandatory for obtaining third party insurance for your vehicle, making it essential to obtain FASTag even if you are not taking your car on the highway.

Most vehicles sold after 2017 come with pre-fitted FASTags. So, if you are the owner of an old vehicle, you will have to get FASTag done.
