FASTag to resume Toll Collection Charges from 20th April 2020

-


          It is not yet clear if NHAI will start its Toll Collection from 12 AM 20th April 2020 or 6.00AM 20th April 2020.

          This can only be confirmed by the actual highway travelers driving on National Highways between 11pm of 19th April 2020 and 8am of 20th April 2020.

          The government had on 25 March announced temporarily suspending toll collection on national highways to ease emergency services in view of the coronavirus outbreak.

          As there will be an only partial lockdown from 20th April 2020, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in a letter to NHAI advised NHAI to take necessary steps to resume tolling operations w.e.f 20th April 2020.

          NHAI collects toll through two modes i.e Physical Cash and Cashless. Under Cashless, FASTag is the most preferred mode.

“In view of the relaxations provided by the Ministry of Home Affairs for the interstate and intrastate movement of all trucks and other goods/carrier vehicles ...NHAI should take actions necessary for compliance of the orders of Ministry of Home Affairs ... and tolling operations be resumed WEF 20 of April 2020,” the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a letter to NHAI.

Replying to communication from NHAI, the ministry said the authority in letters dated 11 April and 14 April had highlighted reasons for resuming the collection of user fee on national highways, saying that the Ministry of Home Affairs has allowed a lot of activities with effect from 20 April, including commercial and private establishments and construction work.

“It has been further highlighted that user fee collection contributes to the government exchequer and also provides financial strength to NHAI in terms of budgetary support,” the letter mentioned.

The NHAI had rolled out the electronic toll collection programme across India in December on its over 500 toll plazas while doubling toll charges from the vehicles entering FASTag lanes without the tag.

In order to give prime importance to existing FASTag users, dissuade defaulters and further encourage adoption of FASTags by national highway commuters, vehicles without FASTags entering the FASTag lane was being charged double the toll fee.

So, all vehicles owners and drivers be ready with FASTag
