FASTag Rules: If you are a Fastag user, then there is important news for you. From tomorrow i.e. February 17, 2025, some rules related to Fastag are changing. National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) has made some changes regarding the rules of toll tax and Fastag. These changes are being implemented to simplify the toll tax collection, so that people do not face any problem. If Fastag users do not pay attention to these rules, then they may also have to pay double the tax. Let us know what these new rules are.

When will the payment not be made?

According to a circulation issued by NPCI on January 28, 2025, if the Fastag remains blacklisted for one hour before the read or 10 minutes after the read, then the payment will not be made. At the same time, if the Fastag balance is low or the Fastag is blocked for any reason, then the transaction will be rejected. In such a situation, double toll fee will be charged from the vehicle owner as a penalty.

These rules of Fastag will be applicable from February 17
If the Fastag is blacklisted till 60 minutes before the tag is read, then payment will not be made.
Users will get a 70-minute window to improve their Fastag status.
If it is blacklisted due to low balance or technical reasons, then 70 minutes will be given for recharge.
Even if there is a negative balance in the Fastag, the vehicle will pass through the toll plaza. After the vehicle passes, the toll charge will be deducted from the security deposit of the Fastag.
The amount deducted from the security deposit will be returned on the next recharge.

When can Fastag be blacklisted?

• If there is low balance
• If toll tax is not paid
