New Delhi : The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on May 15, 2020, issued a notification GSR 298 E for amendment in the  National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008, which provide  that if a vehicle is not fitted with FASTag or the vehicle  is without a valid or functional FASTag, enters into “FASTag lane” of the Fee plazas, then they shall pay a fee equivalent to two times of the fee applicable to that category of vehicles.
