No FASTag? Here’s How Toll Charges Will Change From November 15
In a fresh push to promote digital payments and reduce cash transactions, the government has revised toll fee rules for vehicles without a valid FASTag . The new rates, notified under the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) (Third Amendment) Rules, 2025, will come into effect from November 15, 2025, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) said.
New Toll Rates for Non-FASTag Vehicles
As per the new rule, vehicles entering a toll plaza without a valid FASTag will now be charged differently based on their mode of payment.
“Under the new rule, vehicles entering a fee plaza without a valid, functional FASTag will be charged twice the applicable user fee, if the fee payment is made in cash. Such users who opt to pay the fee via the Unified Payment Interface (UPI), will be charged only 1.25 times the applicable user fee for that category of the vehicle," the ministry stated.
