Subject: Promotion of Di ital .a ment throu h RFID based FASTa' re ardln

Sir,
The National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008 under
Rule 2(hb) defines 'FASTag lane of fee plaza' as an exclusive lane in the fee plaza for movement
of vehicles fitted with 'FASTag' or any such device.Further under Rule 6(2) of the said rules
FASTag lane
there is a provision that user of the vehicle not fitted with 'FASTag' entering into 1
of the fee plazas' shalt pay a fee equivalent to two times of the fee applicable to that category
of vehicle.

2. It has been noticed that the increase in the users making payment of the toll in the fee
plazas on the National Highways through the mechanism of FASTag is not increasing in the
manner desired. This further leads to the payment by cash and further increases the jams at the
fee plazas.

3. In order to promote the payment through digital mode and to provide for a seamless
passage through the fee plazas, it has been decided that all thelanes in the Fee Plazas shall be
declared as 'FASTag lane of Fee Plaza' by 1" of December 2019. However, in order to facilitate
and monitor the over dimensional or oversized vehicles, one lane in the Fee Plaza may be kept
as a hybrid lane accepting FASTag and other modes of payment as per rules which should be
converted into the dedicated FASTag lane in a time bound manner.

4. Accordingly, the following may be ensured:-

i. provisions of fee rules may please be strictly implemented on Fee Plazas of

National Highways for promoting fee payment through FASTags.
ii. Logistics and other implementation problems which may lead to law and order problems
at fee plazas, may please be identified and resolved.
iii. The availability of FASTag across the country in the requisite number has to be clearly
spelt out and made available for moving towards no cash scenario in the fee plazas.
iv. The provision of the civil as well as electronic infrastructure availability at the fee plazas
which are not ETC enable as on date, is required to be fully assessed and provided before
1s` of December, 2019.

Yours faithfully,
