Mumbai, February 19: Multiple users on X are claiming that the FASTag system will end on Saturday, March 1. The reports also allege that a new system of paying toll tax will be implemented soon. The claims suggest that the Narendra Modi-led government is introducing an automatic toll deduction system, which will make travel on highways easier. It is also reported that the move is aimed at ending the hassles that come with FASTag, which was introduced in the country in 2016.

X users said that the government will end the FASTag system and implement a new system called the "Automatic Number Plate Recognition System" or ANPR system. Under the new ANPR technology, tolls will be automatically deducted by scanning the vehicle's number plate. This means people no longer have to use FASTag, thus ending the need to have the system and even ending the hassle of checking the balance.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천New FASTag Rules Will Be Effective From Monday, Impose Extra Penalties on Users for Low Balance, Delayed Payments and Blacklisted Tags.

Once the vehicle's HSRP is scanned, the toll amount will be automatically deducted from the owner's bank account, mobile wallet, or linked UPI.
