When we travel by car or bus then we have to pay toll tax, which can be paid either in cash or online. When we pay through cash then a lot of time is wasted and we have to wait in long lines whereas if you make Fastag and paste it on the Front glass screen of your car, then by using this you can pay online at the Fastag lanes of Toll Plazas. This way you can easily save your time.
Now the National Toll Collection System has been started in India by the National Highways Authority of India. From 15 February 2021, it has been made mandatory for all vehicle drivers to fasten the Fastag on their vehicle’s windscreen.
After making the Fastag mandatory, the government has announced that the transport vehicle will not have fastag renewal without a fitness certificate and also there will be no third-party insurance without Fastag. All the lines on the toll plaza will be Fastag enabled. Only one line will be available for cash payment and there too you will have to wait in a long line. In addition to this even after waiting for a long time, you will have to pay the double toll, which will add more burden on your pocket.
