Satellite Toll System: People living in India have to pay many types of taxes. One of those taxes is toll tax. When any driver enters from one state to another, he has to pay some amount as toll tax. Earlier in India, there used to be long queues of vehicles at toll plazas to pay toll tax. In which people used to waste a lot of time. But now the Fastag service has started at toll plazas all over India.
Now no one has to put their vehicle in line to pay toll tax. People can pay toll immediately through Fastag and move ahead. But now new technology can be tried for toll tax in India. Due to which the hassle of Fastag can also end. Now a plan is being made to implement the system of collecting toll tax through satellite in India. Now the question is coming in the minds of the people whether Fastag stickers will have to be removed from the vehicles. So let us give you answers to all such questions.
Satellite toll system will be implemented soon
In India, the process of changing the system of collecting toll tax has been going on for some time now. Earlier, the process of paying toll tax through fastag was started by removing manual toll tax collection. Now, there is an effort going on to develop a system for collecting toll tax through satellite. This new system will be called GHS i.e. Global Navigation Satellite System. Union Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has recently talked about implementing the GNSS toll system on Bengaluru Mysore Expressway.
Through this toll tax system, toll tax will be charged according to the distance travelled by the vehicle. Complete information of the vehicle will be available in the system through satellite. For this, neither the vehicle will have to stop at the toll plaza nor will it have to undergo any kind of scanning. And no payment will have to be made. Toll will be deducted automatically from the account through the GNSS system.
Fastag sticker will not have to be removed
Now this question is coming in the minds of people whether the fast tag stickers on vehicles will have to be removed after the implementation of this Global Navigation Satellite System. So let us tell you that there will be no need to do this. According to the information given at present, Global Navigation Satellite System i.e. GNSS toll system will be implemented on hybrid models.
That means this system will be implemented only on some selected expressways and highways of the country. And there is no information yet about when this system will be implemented. So at present, you do not need to remove the Fastag sticker at all.
