Nov 22, 2019, at 01:47 pm
The Indian government has made it mandatory from 1 Dec, 2019 to use a contactless payment card for cash-free and faster transactions at National Highway toll plazas across the country. All new four-wheelers will be expected to have FASTag devices fitted by car manufacturers on the front windscreen. Currently, this program is active across 450+ toll plazas across the country and the remaining will be covered soon for the mandate implementation by the Govt. Of India. The notice follows an amendment by central government to the 1989 Central Motor Vehicle Rules according to the powers conferred on it by Motor Vehicle Act, 1989. Let’s take you through a FASTag overview and understand everything about it, in detail.
