While the Union government enforced FASTag on vehicle users on national highways, as happens with 'everything government', the number of complaints, especially about wrong deduction from the user's account, are steadily increasing. No doubt, technologies like FASTag will help reduce corruption and ease lives of commuters, it just need support from the government authorities as well as at the ground level, especially from people who are implementing this. At present, many vehicle users are blaming the FASTag infrastructure, or rather the lack of it to an adequate degree being in place at toll plazas. The government, on the other hand is busy mopping up higher toll collections after the mandatory use of FASTag. Separately, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has warned people about the selling of fake FASTag online.
