New FASTag rules take effect today
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The government has changed the rules of FASTag. Drivers who do not have a valid FASTag and pay with UPI, then, they will have to pay 1.25 times the regular toll.
At the same time, if you make a cash payment, then you will have to pay double the toll as before. The new rules have come into effect from 15 November 2025.
This rule will be beneficial in case of a technical fault or low balance. Transporters said that drivers often have to pay double penalties for not running FASTag properly between the states. Now they will have the option of payment from UPI, which will have a lower penalty.
From August 15, the government has already launched an annual FASTag pass for people traveling on National Highways. The price of this pass is Rs 3,000. It will be valid for one year. Through this pass, users can cross toll 200 times.
The government says this will cost around Rs 15 per toll crossing and reduce crowds at national highway tolls across the country. This single pass will provide relief from the hassle of repeatedly stopping and recharging at toll plazas for travel on national highways.
