With FASTag to be mandatory on all vehicles from 1 December 2019, the Central government is encouraging vehicle owners to move towards Electronic Toll Collection system. Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways said that FASTags will be available free of cost from 22 November to 1 December 2019. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will offer free FASTags until 1 December to encourage commuters to move to FASTags at the earliest. This is also available for free at RTOs and transport hubs. The security deposit for FASTag has been waived as well, which is charged at Rs.150. While this feature is free, you need to link your it to your bank account. The minister added that about 90% of the toll booths have moved to FASTag enabled lanes.
