FASTag to be mandatory from December 1 on the national highway
FASTag to save fuel and time, the country to benefit thousands of crores of rupees
NOV 29 (WTN) - Change is the law of nature and change must be made from time to time. It is the change that heralds the new age, and it is only by the change that the troubles of human life go away or are easy again. A similar change is now taking place at the toll plaza of the National Highway. With the help of this change, not only the country will save fuel worth crores of rupees, but the time of the people of India, a rapidly developing country, will be saved. We are talking about the FASTag being made mandatory on the national highway from December 1.
As you know that whenever you pass through the toll plaza, you have to pay some toll tax on the toll plaza and only then your vehicle can cross the toll plaza. You currently pay the toll tax in cash at the toll plaza. But from December 1, toll tax on toll plazas will be paid automatically through FASTag. Actually, FASTag is a device that will be installed on the window screen of vehicles. The scanners on the toll plaza will scan the FASTag device and as soon as the vehicle crosses the toll plaza, the toll tax of the vehicle will automatically be paid to the National Highway Authority. Actually, FASTag will remain connected to the user's bank account, or the user can recharge it from time to time.
Now you may be wondering that what are the benefits of using FASTag to the government and the drivers of the vehicles, then for your information, let us know that according to a research, the use of FASTag will save India an annual saving of about Rs 12,000 crore. For your information, let us know that the students studying from IIT have started a startup. According to the report of this startup, the use of FASTag will not stop the vehicles at toll plazas, which will save fuel. At the same time, due to the non-stop of the vehicles on toll plazas, people will also save valuable time. According to the saving of fuel and time, the country is estimated to save about 12,000 crores rupees.
Vehicle drivers will be the biggest beneficiaries of the use of FASTag on toll plazas. This is why, because they will not have to stay for the payment of toll tax, which will save fuel for their vehicle as well as will save their valuable time. FASTag installed vehicles can now cross the toll plaza non-stop on the National Highway. On the other hand, if there is any defect in the scanner at any toll plaza and the scanner is not able to scan the FASTag of the vehicle then the driver will not be responsible for this situation. In the event that the scanner does not scan FASTag, the driver will be entitled to pass through the toll plaza without paying any toll tax. But if a vehicle enters the "FASTag lane" after December 1 without the installing FASTag, it will have to pay double the toll tax.
Statistics are showing that the sales of FASTag are increasing. According to the information, so far more than 70 lakh FASTag has been sold. The Modi Government has implemented the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program across the country, by reducing or eliminating bottlenecks on toll plazas to simplify traffic and ease toll tax collection.
It can be said that this visionary and ambitious plan of the Modi Government will save the country’s about 12,000 crore rupees. If you also have to go through the National Highway, and you have not yet installed FASTag in your vehicle, then install it in your vehicle soon, which will save fuel of your vehicle as well as save your valuable time.
