Urgent: Fastag services will be suspended if payment is not made at toll plaza! | india news
New Delhi: Failure to pay toll through your FASTag at barrier-less toll plazas on the country’s National Highway (NH) network will not only result in the issuance of an e-notice but will also result in suspension of all FASTag services for the said vehicle until the pending e-notice dues are paid, said the government’s FAQ on the new tolling system.The NH fee notice from the road transport ministry said this will be as per the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) Fastag program process. The suspension of services will include all FASTag facilities including NH fee plazas, state toll plazas and parking plazas.An NHAI official said that if Fastag is hotlisted for some reason, this still happens.Hence NHAI has urged highway users to maintain adequate balance in their FASTag accounts. In case of scenarios like insufficient FASTag balance and invalid or non-functional FASTag, users will get an e-notice and will have to pay the normal user charges within 72 hours. In case of non-compliance after 72 hours, the user fee rate for the vehicle category will be doubled.If an e-notice is not paid for more than 15 days, vehicle-related services – NOC, transfer of ownership, national permit and fitness certificate – will remain restricted until the outstanding dues are cleared.
