The road and transport ministry on Sunday said that any vehicle passing any toll plaza from the midnight of 15th and 16th February, 2021 needs to have a Fastag attached in their vehicle. The vehicles without FASTags or without valid, functional FASTag entering will be penalized with double the cost of the toll assigned to the respective vehicle.
Press Information Bureau (PIB) released the statement from the ministry which said “Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has decided that all lanes in the fee plazas on National Highways shall be declared as “FASTag lane of the fee plaza” w.e.f midnight of 15th/16th February 2021. Therefore, as per NH Fee Rules 2008, any vehicle not fitted with FASTag or vehicle without valid, functional FASTag entering into the FASTag lane of the fee plaza shall pay a fee equivalent to two times of the fee applicable to that category.”
The government had earlier made FASTags mandatory for motor vehicles from January 1 this year.
