Toll tax charges: The government has made a major change for those traveling at toll plazas. New rules will come into effect on November 15th, which could lead to travelers having to pay more by cash or UPI. How much and how will the toll system change?
Toll tax new rule : The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has changed the toll tax rules. Now, if a vehicle does not have a Fastag, double the toll will be charged for cash payments, and one and a quarter times the toll will be charged for payments made through UPI. The government has issued a notification regarding this change. According to the ministry, these rules will come into effect nationwide from November 15th.
Why the fee hike?
The government says the purpose of this move is to promote digital payments. Efforts are being made to gradually eliminate cash transactions completely to make toll collection easier and transparent. To this end, the National Highway Fee (Determination and Collection of Rates) Rules, 2008, have been amended.
What do the new rules say?
Under the new rules, if your vehicle doesn’t have a valid Fastag and you pay with cash at the toll plaza, you’ll have to pay double the toll. However, if non-valid Fastag users pay with UPI without a Fastag, they’ll have to pay one and a quarter times the toll.
Example:
If your vehicle has a valid Fastag, you’ll have to pay ₹100. However, if you don’t have a Fastag and pay with cash, you’ll have to pay ₹200, or double the toll. However, if you pay with UPI without a Fastag, you’ll have to pay ₹125, or one and a quarter times the toll. This means that the toll amount will be less if you pay with UPI.
What does the government say?
The ministry says that the purpose of this change is not just to collect money, but to make the toll system more robust, transparent, and simple. This will also reduce long queues at toll plazas and make travel easier for commuters.
With this new rule, most people will switch to digital payments or Fastag instead of cash. This will make it easier for the government to collect toll taxes and increase transparency.
