Such FASTags will be put in the ‘loose FASTag’ category and action will be taken. NHAI said that some people deliberately do not affix the FASTag on the vehicle’s windshield, but scan it manually when they reach the toll. This leads to congestion at the toll, system glitches and sometimes wrong transactions. NHAI said in a press note, now toll agencies and contractors have been instructed that if any vehicle tries to pay the toll with a loose FASTag, then send a report immediately. On receiving the report, that FASTag will be immediately blacklisted or hotlisted.

Why do people do this?

It is necessary to put the FASTag on the vehicle’s windshield, but some people keep it in their hands to cheat the system. Like trying to pay less toll by putting the FASTag of a small vehicle on a big truck. Changing the tags in different vehicles to change the calculation of the toll. Trying to cross the toll without paying the charge. In such cases, the problem of chargeback or refund from the bank also arises.

Loose FASTag slows down the FASTag system. Sometimes people pay less toll by using the wrong category tag, which causes losses to the government and the toll company. If scanned manually, the line at the toll increases and the advantage of automatic tolling is lost. In such cases, sometimes there are fights at the toll. There is a problem of long lines. Therefore, the best way for honest vehicle owners is to properly affix the FASTag on the vehicle’s windshield.

Why is it difficult to identify a loose FASTag?

Currently, toll scanners at many locations only read the data on the tag. They are unable to identify whether the tag is affixed to the same vehicle or not. If ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology is fully implemented, identification may be easier, but currently many vehicles do not have ANPR number plates or they are not affixed properly. In some states, it is not even mandatory to affix ANPR plates.

What will be the impact on vehicle owners?

If your FASTag is not affixed on the toll booth and you are caught scanning it in your hand, NHAI can immediately blacklist your FASTag. Once blacklisted, the FASTag will not work on tolls and you will have to pay the toll in cash. Getting a new FASTag will cost both time and money. Therefore, always affix the FASTag properly on the vehicle’s windshield. Avoid showing the FASTag by holding it in your hand, otherwise your FASTag may be blacklisted and you may face difficulty while travelling.

Analysts believe that the cost of highway monetization is Rs 22 crore per kilometer. However, it can also change due to the number of vehicles and the movement of commercial vehicles. Let us tell you that NHAI has set a target of earning Rs 54 thousand crore by selling highways for the current financial year. Last year, the target was to raise Rs 40,227 crore. This year, the target is to raise Rs 8 thousand crore through projects and Rs 46 thousand crore through toll transfer.

Toll increased by 3% in Ghaziabad-Noida

Going to Meerut and Hapur has become expensive from Sunday night. Earlier, the toll for going to Meerut was Rs 160, now it has been increased to Rs 165. The toll has been increased by around 3 percent. It is being told that this time the toll has been increased less compared to last year, whereas usually every year there is an increase of 5 percent.

About 70 percent of Fastag holders of Ghaziabad have got KYC done, but still 30 percent of Fastag holders have not been KYCed. NHAI Project Director Arvind Kumar says that there are still 2 days left. In this, drivers should get their Fastag KYC done, so that they can avoid paying double toll tax.

Fastag users will have to follow the one vehicle, one Fastag policy. All previously issued Fastags will have to be returned to the respective banks. Now only new Fastag accounts will remain active. He said that one vehicle, one Fastag campaign has been started to reduce the waiting time of toll plazas and bring transparency in collecting toll through Fastag. NHAI has taken this initiative in response to recent reports of issuing multiple Fastags for one vehicle and issuing Fastags without KYC in violation of RBI norms.

Problems faced by old vehicle drivers

Fastag is available only on new vehicles from the agency, but in the old vehicles, Fastag has been installed from the bank. Some drivers do not put Fastag on the windscreen but keep it on the dashboard. Then they move ahead after showing when the toll comes. A Fastag is used in this way in many vehicles. Also, multiple Fastags are issued on the same vehicle. If any crime happens then it becomes difficult to catch it. Now if a vehicle has a Fastag, the vehicle will be completely identified when it passes through the toll.

Update KYC like this

Go to the website of the bank from which you have taken Fastag. Then login with your mobile number. Then go to My Profile section and click on KYC. Fill the other details including address proof in it. In this way KYC will be updated. If you want to check the status of your Fastag, then apart from the bank’s website, you can check by visiting fastag.ihmcl.com.

These documents will be needed

To update KYC, vehicle registration certificate, ID proof, address proof, a passport size photo will have to be uploaded. Passport, Voter ID card, Aadhar card, driving license and PAN card can be used as ID and address proof.

Problems will increase at toll plaza from February 1

Along with this, crores of rupees came in the treasury of the government only because of this order that all vehicles must have FASTag. For this everyone had to buy a sticker and put this sticker on the front windscreen of the vehicle. Scanning through this sticker is easy and vehicles will not have to stand for toll.

For this, big promises were made and facilities were given. Well, there is a government, orders have to be obeyed. Whether you want to or not. So thousands of people emptied their pockets without wanting to and put FASTag on all vehicles as per the orders of the government. The government will have to give you money if you have to walk on the road.

Many people also had to say that the government should construct new highways. Along with this, new expressways should be built. Many people have been angry with the governments that why the existing highways were converted into toll roads. That is, the thing which was being used by paying road tax now had to pay toll tax and FASTag along with road tax. Is.

Till now it was fine but the inconvenience continued till now that one has to wait for half an hour at the toll plaza. The claims of the government are rejected here and the government is being exploited in the name of convenience. It is a different matter that the government is not unaware of the problems being faced at the toll plaza. On behalf of the government, it is clearly indicated to the toll plaza operators that people should not face any kind of problem. For this, from the officers of the toll plaza to the contractors, it has been directed that every vehicle should cross the toll plaza without any hassle.

NHAI’s order to control the line of vehicles at toll plazas

The National Highway Authority has made some rules to control the queue of vehicles on the toll plaza and to keep the toll plaza personnel agile. Do you know that the National Highways Authority has ordered not to allow a vehicle to wait for more than 10 seconds at any toll plaza while traveling on the highway. This order also applies during peak hours.

Yellow line rule at toll plaza

Along with this, a provision has also been given that no line of more than 100 meters should be installed under any circumstances. And if this happens, then the government has ordered that until the line is reduced to 100, then all the vehicles inside that line will be allowed to pass the toll without stopping.

The government has ordered that a yellow line should be made on the toll of every highway to mark the distance of 100 meters from the toll in this way. It is also a clear order that the toll plaza operator should immediately take action to finish the line when the line is set up. From February 2021, 100 percent cashless transactions have been implemented on tolls. Because FASTag is being used at 96 percent toll plazas.

When the order was given, in the order of the National Highways Authority of May 26, 2021, it has also been said that the toll plaza will have to take care that no vehicle should hit any toll for more than 10 seconds. Some people say that in case of not doing so, the driver can take the vehicle even without paying toll.

At the same time, there is a possibility of relaxation in this rule to maintain distance during the Corona period. But, now Corona is gone. And now orders with normal conditions have been implemented everywhere. Read detailed order here

Several calls were made to the National Highway Authority for information on the current situation. No one was ready to pick up both the phone numbers given on the site. Due to not picking up the phone, it was not possible to present his side.
