Now You Can Pay Toll Tax Through Official Mobile Apps - Nirmal Singh Lotus Green
Highway Authority of India has
revealed that two new mobile apps will be released to make paying taxes on
highways easier for the people.
FASTag, a reloadable tag, will be
put on the windscreen of the vehicles. These tags will work on the RFID [radio
frequency identification technology] – the tags will be linked to a single
prepaid account from which the tax will be deducted automatically – the cars
wouldn’t have to stop at toll booths. This step has been taken to minimize the
cash transactions on the booths.
On Thursday, The National
Highways Authority of India came out with two new mobile apps to facilitate the
availability of the tags for toll tax payments. - Nirmal Singh Lotus Green
The authorities are working to
make the highways and toll booths Tag friendly. Lanes of all the 371 National
highways will be enabled for FASTags as early as October 1st.
‘Both MyFASTag and FASTag Partner are available for downloads. People
who travel regularly through toll booths know how time consuming the whole
thing can be. This is the reason we have released two apps. They will not make
it easier for people to save time with automatic deduction but will also bring
down the involvement of cash at the booths. There were many cases of the
supervisors not providing receipts to the tax payers – that money went straight
into their pockets. This problem will also be solved with tags.’ - Nirmal Singh Lotus Green
The chairman of NHAI, Deepak
Kumar, said that people will be able to recharge their accounts with one simple
click. He also mentioned that both the apps are available for Android and iOS.
Consumers will be able to
recharge their accounts and purchase FASTags through the apps on their phone.
The apps can also be used to keep track of the transactions. - Nirmal Singh Lotus Green
