Toll collection on National Highways to resume from tonight

The collection of toll at all toll plazas on National Highways across the country will resume midnight tonight. An official release said, government is taking several steps to ensure smooth movement of traffic along the highways.

All toll plazas have been equipped with adequate numbers of swipe machines through which people can make payments using their credit or debit cards. Toll fee can also be paid through pre-paid instruments and electronic wallets.

The FASTags can be stuck on to the windshield of the vehicle, and toll payments are made directly from the pre-paid account linked to it.

The highway users are being requested to carry adequate change with them to avoid delay. The old 500 rupee notes will be accepted till the midnight of 15th December, but this will only be for purchasing FASTags and for making toll payments of more than 200 rupees.
