No data available on faulty FASTags, penalties collected from users: NHAI
State-owned NHAI has no information about faulty FASTags and the penalties collected from motorists in case their FASTags are non-functional at highway toll plazas.
In case a motorist does not have a FASTag or it is non-functional, then the person has to pay double the toll charges at toll plazas.
According to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), more than 6 crore FASTags have been issued as on October 31, 2022.
However, it has no information about the number of faulty FASTag cases and the total amount of penalty collected from users despite having their vehicles fitted with the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.
