You must have seen long queues at toll plazas earlier. After this, the fastag is entered and the long queues of cars also reduce. But now a system has come where there is no need to stand in the queue. You just have to take the car straight and the money will be deducted from your account automatically. Actually, it has been named satellite based toll system. There will be no need to scan the fastag in this and toll collection will be done by identifying the car with the help of satellite.
FASTag will not be abolished now. Initially, both FASTag and satellite system will be available. But then gradually the entire system will be transferred to satellite only. This decision has been taken by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The National Highway Fee Rules, 2008 have been amended by the ministry. Electronic toll collection has also been included in it. This decision has been taken keeping in mind the satellite toll collection system.
How will it work?
For the satellite based toll collection system, the driver of a car or any other vehicle will not need to stop at the toll plaza. The money will be deducted automatically with the help of the system installed in the car. Preparations are being made for this. At present, no official announcement has been made regarding the closure of Fastag. Suppose you are going on a road or highway where toll is charged, then based on the location there, money will be deducted from your account automatically. That is, now you do not need to stop and get the toll deducted. That is, this is a completely automatic system which works in a completely different way. In this, you do not need to stop anywhere.
