Fraudsters are selling fake FASTags online – which are not valid to cross toll plazas – making them appear to be as those of NHAI/IHMCL.
Vehicles not fitted with FASTag or without valid/functional FASTag entering into the FASTag lane have to pay double the toll charges.
The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has cautioned people against the sale of fake FASTags online.
The authority said some fraudsters were selling fake FASTags online making them appear to be as those of NHAI/IHMCL.
It said such FASTags are not valid to cross toll plazas.
