    What are e-toll tags?

  • E-toll refers to the toll collected at toll plazas, but allowing cashless payment. This will help increase the usage of automatic passages through the tolls. To enable cashless payment, e-toll tags have to be issued for vehicles, and these are usually provided by banks.

    How do e-toll tags work?
  • For enabling e-toll tags and effecting it for cashless payments, each vehicle is given an RFID chip.

    An RFID chip will help to identify tags that are attached to an object with the help of electromagnetic waves.

    The chip attached to the windshield of the vehicle will be read at the toll plaza, and the amount will be deducted from one's bank account/digital wallet.

    How will the new e-toll tags be effected?
  • National Highways Authority's chairman told reporters that currently electronic toll collection is operational across 356 toll plazas.

    The new issuance of e-toll tags will first see the banks and the digital wallet service Paytm on trial runs to test their systems with the National Payments Corporation's servers.

    The body is also looking to persuade the RBI to liberalize regulations related to e-toll tags.
