New User Fee Collection Rule to Promote Digital Payments at Toll Plazas

The Government of India has amended the National Highways Fee Rules to incentivize digital payments at toll plazas for non-FASTag users. Starting November 15, 2025, vehicles without a valid FASTag will incur a fee of twice the applicable user fee if paid in cash, while payments made via UPI will be charged at 1.25 times the fee. This initiative aims to enhance transparency, improve toll collection efficiency, and promote digital payment adoption, ultimately easing congestion at toll plazas.
