In the coming days, you will not need to pay repeated toll fees on the highway. Private car owners will be able to take an annual or lifetime toll pass at once. This system will also be cheaper than now. Under this gift of private car owners toll, you will be able to opt for Rs 3000 per annum and Rs 30000 at a time. Private car owners can also get this facility through fasttag. Lifetime toll pass validity will be for 15 years.
Currently, single entry or monthly passes are issued. The goal of this scheme is to make the journey through National Highways smooth and cheaper. This will relieve long queues on toll plazas and will save the time of passengers. Currently, passengers face problems due to the delay in stopping and paying at the toll plaza. But with the implementation of this new scheme, this problem will be overcome to a great extent.
Currently, monthly passes are available to cross the toll plaza. These monthly passes are mainly released for local and regular passengers. Currently their price is Rs 340 per month. That is, for this you have to spend about 4,080 rupees a year.
In such a situation, if the annual toll pass is found in 3,000, then it will be a much cheaper than the current monthly pass. This scheme will be completely optional, so that passengers will be able to choose it according to their convenience. The government hopes that this pass will be rapidly popular and millions of private vehicle owners will take advantage of it.
Significantly, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari also recently indicated the scheme. He had said that the government is seeing this toll pass as a solution to many problems. The scheme can get rid of problems like increasing resentment towards toll plaza within the Municipal Limit, problems related to setting up toll gates at less than 60 km and violence on toll plazas.
