Nitin Gadkari said that now preparations are being made to remove toll plazas and install number plate reader cameras, which will charge toll tax from drivers without FASTag. According to the report, these automatic number plate reader cameras will reduce the time taken to collect toll tax.
The country is soon going to get rid of the hassle of FASTag. Toll booths will also become an obsolete addition to this. Actually, the government is working on a plan to collect toll tax from the automatic number plate reader camera by removing the toll from the national highway. Minister of Highways and Road Transport Nitin Gadkari has disclosed this information.
According to a media article on Business Standard, VAT is currently taken out at toll booths using FASTag. However, this work will soon be done by automatic number plate reader cameras. These automatic number plates will be read by the cameras, and toll tax money will be taken out of your bank account.
Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari provided information in this respect, stating that the pilot project for this program is currently under construction. According to him, a legal revision will also be taken into account to put this plan into action.
Number plate reader cameras will be installed
Nitin Gadkari said that now preparations are being made to remove toll plazas and install number plate reader cameras, from which toll tax will be collected from the drivers. According to the report, the time taken to collect toll tax with automatic number plate reader cameras will be reduced. However, Gadkari said that there are some hurdles in the project, which are being considered to be resolved. For instance, reading the camera might be difficult if the number plate has writing that is different from the number.
Trying to solve these problems
The Union Minister said that apart from this, talking about another big problem, how to punish the driver who does not pay toll tax, because there is no way to punish the vehicle owner who has missed the toll tax. There is no legal provision yet. He claimed that the law also needed to be applied to this situation. Gadkari also emphasized that vehicles that do not have such number plates will be given a certain time to install them.
At present, 97% collection through FASTag after the implementation of FASTag for a toll tax deduction by the government,
