New Toll Rules: FASTag Mandatory from April 1, Cash Payments Banned

• Central government mandates FASTag for toll payments, cash payments will not be accepted from April 1.
• Vehicle owners without FASTag or with inactive/low balance FASTags must prepare to avoid travel obstacles.
• The move aims to reduce delays at toll gates caused by cash/UPI payments and streamline traffic flow.
• Future goal is automatic toll collection via sensors, similar to foreign countries, but technology is a barrier.
• Check FASTag KYC, maintain sufficient balance, or be ready with UPI for quick digital payments to avoid issues.
