Cash banned at all toll plazas; Govt ID won't be accepted

From April 10, 2026, India will eliminate cash payments at highway tolls, mandating FASTag or UPI. The move aims to reduce congestion and improve efficiency, while penalising non-digital payments. Authorities are also cracking down on misuse of toll exemptions. With plans for barrier-free tolling underway, this marks a significant step toward seamless, technology-driven highway travel.
