NPCI implemented these new rules for Fastag transactions starting February 17. These rules aim to ensure that vehicles do not have to stop at toll plazas, even if there is a delay in Fastag payments. NHAI stated that these rules will not cause any problems for the public and will also prevent disputes between banks.

NHAI Issues Clarification on New Fastag Rules

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has assured the public that there will be no issues with the new Fastag rules. The National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) implemented these new rules for Fastag transactions starting on February 17. Some people were concerned about potential problems at toll plazas, and NHAI issued this clarification to address those concerns.

Saving Time for Travelers

The new rules aim to ensure timely payments through Fastag. Sometimes, technical issues with Fastag can cause payment delays, leading to vehicles having to stop at toll plazas. The updated rules are designed to eliminate this problem, saving people time and ensuring smoother travel.

Key Points of NPCI’s Circular

NHAI’s statement clarified that the purpose of NPCI’s new circular is to ensure that Fastag transactions are settled quickly after a vehicle passes through the toll plaza. This will prevent any inconvenience for customers and streamline the payment process. The new rules are specifically designed for public convenience.

Resolving Bank Disputes

In the past, disputes sometimes arose between two banks involved in Fastag transactions—one issuing the Fastag and the other processing the payment at the toll plaza. The new rules aim to eliminate these disputes. According to NHAI, NPCI’s circular ensures that, in case of a Fastag-related issue, there will be no conflict between the acquiring bank and the issuing bank. This will make the Fastag system run more smoothly.
