FASTag Mandatory in India: Cash Toll Payments End, New Rules from April 10

Описание: In a major policy shift, cash payments at toll plazas across India have been completely discontinued from April 10, as the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways moves toward a fully digital toll collection system.

The FASTag system is now mandatory on all national highways and expressways, aiming to reduce congestion, eliminate long queues, and ensure smoother traffic flow. Vehicle owners without FASTag will no longer be allowed to pay in cash and must use digital payment options like UPI, but at a higher toll cost of 1.25 times the standard fee.

Authorities have also warned that non-payment may lead to penalties, denial of passage, and even double charges in some cases. A new ₹3,075 annual FASTag pass has been introduced for frequent travellers, offering up to 200 crossings.

Commuters are being advised to keep their FASTag active, funded, and KYC-compliant as India fully transitions into a digital tolling system.
