A notification has been issued in this regard, which states that due to the absence of FASTag on the windscreen, there is a delay in billing at the toll plaza.

Monitoring will be done through CCTV
NHAI will put up information about this new rule at all toll plazas. This will inform careless drivers and double toll tax will be levied on violators and the registration number will be recorded through CCTV footage, which will help in maintaining a record of the vehicle violating the rules.
Banks also gave instructions
Banks issuing FASTag have also been informed about the new rule and have been instructed to ensure that the issued FASTag is mandatorily affixed on the windscreen by the driver. NHAI aims to enforce the rules by issuing notifications to install FASTags on the inside of the front windshield and impose fines on violators.
