Drivers who knowingly fail to affix a FASTag to their vehicle’s front windshield will face severe penalties. Such drivers will be charged twice the fee. In this regard, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued guidelines. Vehicles must have the FASTag affixed to the inside of the front windshield. However, some drivers disregard this rule, resulting in unnecessary delays at toll gates and inconvenience for others. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) have been issued to agencies that collect user fees.

Clear Display of Information
Agencies have been instructed to charge double fees for vehicles without a FASTag. All toll plazas that collect user fees must clearly display relevant information. Drivers who do not display the FASTag on their vehicle’s front windshield may face fines, and this information must be made public. Additionally, agencies have been instructed to record CCTV footage of vehicles without FASTags.
