The government has made a big change regarding the fastag, which has come into force from today. According to the new rules, additional fees will be levied on users with low balance, low balance or blacklisted fastag. The real purpose of this change is to reduce the queues of long-and-long trains on the toll plaza and make toll pay easier.

The National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways have made some amendments to the fastag system, the purpose of these changes is not only to make toll payments more easy, but also reduce the disputes related to fastag. Also, these rules will also help prevent fraud incidents while taking toll. Let us tell you which rules have been changed.

Inactive more than 60 minutes

If a fastag remains inactive for more than 60 minutes, and is not active even after 10 after the toll park, its transaction will not be accepted. You will not be able to do transactions, in such cases the system will show ‘error code 176’ and the payment will not be validated.

Disputes related to toll payment

The chargeback process has been started to reduce toll payment disputes. If a user has to face cuts without any need, the process of chargeback will now be many times faster convenient.

Recharge the fastag within 15 minutes

According to the new rule, if a vehicle does not pay within 15 minutes after leaving the toll plaza, then fastag users may have to pay more fees.

Toll payment will be responsible

If a vehicle will not have a minimum balance in the fastag account and will not be paid even after completing the toll, then the toll operator will be held responsible for this.

Do fastag recharge in advance

Earlier you used to stop at the toll plaza and recharge the fastag, but now it is not possible. According to the new rules, users will already have to maintain their fastag recharge, otherwise it may have trouble paying on the toll plaza.

Impact of government’s new rules on toll

These new rules of the government are going to have a direct impact on the long queues on the toll plaza. Currently, vehicles have to stop on toll due to low balance or other technical reasons in many fastags, causing traffic jams. But now after the rules are strictly implemented, the drivers will have to keep their fastag recharge in advance, so that the traffic pressure on the toll plaza will be reduced.

How the drivers will get benefit from new rules

Relief will be provided from the jam on the toll plaza.
Time will also be saved, as fastag transactions will take less time.
To avoid low balance and other technical problems, users will have to recharge their fastag in advance.
The toll operator will not have accountability, which will reduce the disputes related to the fastag.

This is how fastag recharge can be done

E-wallet: You can also recharge fastag with digital wallets like Paytm, Google Pay, PhonePe. Fastag portal: You can also recharge from the official website of NHAI and NPCI.
