If you also use Fastag, then know about the new changes in it so that you do not have to pay a huge fine. The government has changed the rules of Fastag from 17 February. Let us know about all these rules one by one.
The first rule in this is that if your fastag is blacklisted then you will not be able to do any transaction.
Suppose if Fastag is blacklist or inactive. Or if there is no balance for more than an hour before coming to the toll booth, then there will be no transaction.
If Fastag remains blacklist until 10 minutes after the scan, the payment will be rejected.
So then the matter is that if your fastag is in blacklist, inactive or low balance, then the error code 176 will be shown in the system crossing the toll. And you have to pay double the penalty of toll tax.
The second rule is about the grace period of recharging.
You will get 70 minutes before crossing the toll booth when you can recharge your fastag. Or you can fix its status by checking.
If you recharge your fastag within 10 minutes of crossing the toll booth, then you will get a penalty toll tax refund.
The third rule of Fastag is to impose additional charge on the delayed transactions.
If you recharge Fastag 15 minutes after crossing the toll booth, then you will have to pay an extra charge on the toll tax.
If Fastag is sung wrong deduction due to being blacklist or low balance, then you can file a complaint within 15 days and you will get a refund from the bank.
Now let us know what will be the effect of these rules on you
This clearly means that you can no longer recharge the last minute. If you are unable to recharge Fastag one hour before reaching the toll booth, then there is no use in recharging at the last moment.
There is also a chance of getting a penalty refund if you recharge Fastag 10 minutes after the scan.
Check the balance of Fastag by crossing the toll booth and also see the transaction at the toll booth so that there is no error of the system.
At the end, we know what things related to Fastag have to be taken care of.
The first was sufficient balance in Fastag Wallet.
