The use of FASTag to simplify the process of toll collection at the toll plaza the government of India has made the use of FASTag mandatory from December 15, 2019. The use of FASTag is believed to help in protecting the people from getting stuck in the long lanes of traffic jams at the toll plazas. Moving ahead, the use of FASTag is believed to encourage the digital transactions at the toll plaza, but also minimize the problem of cash payments.
