Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has made a announcement that can prove to be a major gift for those traveling on the National Highway. The government is now considering bringing an ‘annual or monthly pass’ system for Fastag. Under this new system, you will not need to make separate payments at each toll plaza.
Nitin Gadkari said that this system will act as a ‘bus pass’ exactly. Just as you make a pass pass for a month or a year or a year, in the same way, you will be able to take a lump sum for fastag by paying a month or a year or a year or a year. After this, during that period you will be able to travel unlimited on the National Highway without any additional toll tax.
The biggest benefit of this scheme will be available to those who travel too much on the highway, such as truck drivers, taxi drivers or those who go from one city to another daily in connection with jobs or business. Repeated toll cutting is expensive and troubled for them. This will not only save their money from this, but will also save time.
The announcement is currently in the initial stage. Nitin Gadkari has told that the outline of this scheme is being prepared. What will be its price, how it will get a pass and when it will be implemented, all these information is still going on. It is expected that the government will soon release its full details. This step will be a major and revolutionary change towards making the toll collection system even easier and convenient in India.
