Union Minister Announces To Introduce GPS-Based Toll Collection

Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on march 18 announced in the lok sabha that the government will soon introduce GPS-based toll collection. In-order to avoid toll theft and GST evasion cases, the collection of money will be done through GPS imaging. However, the officials have been instructed to take hold of the vehicles that do not pay toll using FASTags. Reportedly, around 93% pay through FASTags and the rest 7% pay in cash despite of the double fee.
