Toll Plazas Go Cashless: FASTag or UPI Mandatory from April 1

• Cash payments at national highway toll plazas will be stopped from April 1, making all transactions digital.
• The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will implement this decision to enhance transparency, traffic flow, and save traveler time.
• Vehicle owners must use FASTag or UPI for toll payments; FASTag usage has already reached over 98%.
• The move aims to eliminate cash transaction disputes, reduce transaction time, and alleviate traffic congestion, especially during peak seasons.
• Digital payments are expected to maintain vehicle speed, save fuel, and decrease pollution across over 1150 toll plazas.
