Electronic payment in tollgates in National Highways in 3 months!
Posted on: 18/Sep/2014 3:20:49 PM
It is planned to install electronic payment systems in all toll gates located in National Highways throughout India before the end of this year.
National Highways Department has released this information. With the electronic payment system, it is possible to pay toll amounts in bulk in advance. After making the payment, if the SIM card given is fixed in the vehicle, the payment for that particular crossing will be deducted automatically.
As separate lane will be provided for the vehicles who have made this lump sum payment, these vehicles can pass through the toll gates without stopping. This will greatly reduce the traffic congestion as well as save time for stopping, paying, and passing.
The National Highways Board has made a contract agreement on the payment arrangement with ICICI & Axis Banks.
