As per the government order, January 15 was the last date to comply with the new FASTag rules. Starting today, if you do not have the FASTag affixed on your vehicle’s windscreen, you will be penalised. The current deadline has already been extended twice in the past from December 15, 2019, to December 31, 2019, and then finally to the current deadline of January 15, 2020.
What happens if you do not have FASTag
If you do not have an activated FASTag starting today, you will have to pay double the fees at toll plazas across national highways in the country. Also, the government is planning to reduce the normal toll lanes in order to boost the electronic toll collection gates, so there are chances you will have to wait for a considerable amount of time without a FASTag.
