New Delhi (NVI): The last date to comply with the new FASTag rule is today, January 15, 2020. People not having a FASTag for their cars will be penalized and will have to pay double the fees at toll plazas across all national highways (NH) in the country.
The deadline has already been extended twice. The first deadline was December 15, which was extended to December 31 and then finally to January 15.
Since December 15, 2019, 75% of all lanes at toll plazas were converted into FASTag lanes, but now only one hybrid lane in either direction will accept cash payments.
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has decided to relax the conditions regarding the declaration of FASTag fee lanes for 30 days from today at the identified 65 high cash transactions fee plazas of NHAI. The concerned fee plazas have been allowed to convert up to 25 per cent of all fee lanes to hybrid (cash plus FASTag) lanes during this time.
