No FASTag On Car’s Front Windshield? Get Ready For Heavy Penalty/ Vehicle Blacklisting
National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has issued a fresh guideline that makes it mandatory for the vehicle owners to stick the FASTag sticker on their car’s front windshield. This new move aims to reduce the traffic congestion and long cues at the toll plazas on the state highways. As per the highway authority, the non-fixation of the FASTag stickers is one of the reason for delays at the toll booths.
A penalty will be charged from the vehicle owners who fail to adhere to this rule. NHAI has permitted the toll plazas to charge double the toll fee if any vehicle is stopped without the FASTag sticker on the front windshield. This will be specifically for the defaulters who tries to cross the barriers using the FASTag lanes.
Furthermore, toll booths will be keeping a tab of the vehicles that have the FASTag stickers and also those who don’t. The authorized banks for FASTags have also been shared the guideline to affix the sticker on the vehicle during its sale. This new rule will be displayed at the toll plazas to keep the citizens updated with the developments.
