FASTag mandatory for all vehicles in 4 months: Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari
Road Transport and Highways Minister, Nitin Gadkari has been quite active since the past few months and has announced a number of schemes and methods along with mandates to reform the Indian traffic and road conditions. Just a few days back, he proposed that Nitrogen in tires should be made mandatory across the country. Now, the union minister has dropped another announcement which states that FASTag for motor vehicles would be made mandatory for all in four months. He made this announcement while replying to a discussion on demands for grants for the road transport and highways ministry in the Budget. He further added that people had to pay the toll if they wanted good roads.

That is another idiotic, controversial rule from the government. How will they ensure that tyres have nitrogen or air? Will they set up mobile laboratories to harass the car owners/drivers? I have been filling atmospheric air using my portable compressor for my car and motorcycle at my home since many years. I don't believe nitrogen or air make any difference to the safety or longevity of the tyres. I will continue my usage of portable pump/air for my car and motorcycle in future too, notwithstanding the government's diktat.
Can you please link the online links for benefit of all members.
Thanks

They charged me ₹450 only? Why ,₹50 less. (Is that because I have SB account with them or paid money using ICICI debit card?
By the way, how many days waiting for the card? ( They told me 8 days)..
By the way, how many days waiting for the card? ( They told me 8 days)..
Today I logged in (using the customer Id given by ICICI when applied for the Fastag) to ICICI Fastag. The account shows '0' balance which means the Rs.449.56 paid was for deposit and bank charges. Any amount paid in excess of Rs.450 will be shown as our account balance. Now, I will have to recharge if I have to use the Fastag for toll payments.
Still waiting for the sticker.!
Still waiting for the sticker.!
I logged to icici bank account, the way the fastag account is set up as
Customer ID which will have one or many car association. Each car will have a account and balance against the car. They also have a Fastag Wallet which can be loaded, and if you have more than one Fastag cards or Vehicles associated, you should be able to move the money from Fastag wallet to each vehicle account. Unless you move money into the vehicle account, you will not be able to use the fastag associated with that car.
I have not explored funding the wallet as yet, but I have recharged the Vehicle account with 100 rs, and was able to successfully do it. Now the vehicle account shows balance of 300 which ,means, 200 from the first 499 transaction done and then 100 recharge.
For the wallet though, min of Rs 1000 recharge is mandatory.
I have been allotted a car sticker number. Waiting for the sticker to arrive, don't know when it will arrive.
