Address: Chennai

Recently I came across a bitter experience with one of the NHAI Toll Plaza (Mahasamudram Toll) where my fastag was not getting detected because of no proper technology enabled with them and the toll plaza associates were mentioning that my fastag was blacklisted.

It was so funny to hear this because I had sufficient balance of 1000 + Rupees on my fastag and still they say it was blacklisted. My travel was between Chennai to Bangalore via Chittoor and it had around 6 tolls and out of these 6 tolls only this toll did not detect my fastag and the rest tolls had it detected without any issues.

Even calling up 1033 helpline confirmed that I have sufficient balance in my fastag and they said they will speak with toll control room but still nothing happened and I was very sure what the result could be.

End result was after waiting 30mins in the toll and seeing nothing happening from 1033 Helpline and the Mahasamudram Toll I decided to pay it in cash where they charged me additional 85 rupees as penalty for 1 side and 170 for 2 sides and this
instance happened for 2 days which means I lost 340 rupees .

I have all records to show that I had sufficient balance in fastag and also records to show that my fastag was detected on other tolls on the same day before and after crossing this toll .

Event Place : Mahasamudram Toll Plaza
Stretch : APTN Border to Nalagampalli to Nalagampalli to APKA Border

    On 28/08/2021 I have visited Puri by my Vehicle OD02AY4999. I passed the tollgate at Pipili on 28/08/2021 at 7:46 AM and return on 28/08/2021 at 5:22 PM. Both the time they have deducted Rs 115/- through my fastag which cannot be. Kindly reverse the amount.

    Also I have a query. My vehicle glass break for which my fastag chip wasn't with me but my fastag is active. They have deducted from the fastag in morning. In my return from puri they told that our manager is not available also NHAI site is not connected after office hours so manually we can't deduct.
    Is NHAI site is closed after 5 PM or on Sunday?
    The behaviour of the staffs are not acceptable. It has to cordial not like boss when someone is in problem related to your tollgate payment only.

                  Sir, while paying at the Eastern Peripheral Toll plaza on 27/8/2021 the booth operator charged double amount (190+190) from me saying that my Fastag account doesn't have sufficient balance whereas I had Rs 1073 in my account at that time.May be there was some error in your system which was showing insufficient balance.
                  Also the operator typed wrong Registration No of the vehicle.The Regn No of my vehicle is PB65V4113 whereas he typed PB64V4113.
                  The details of payment are as under:

                    I had travelled by car from Jaipur to Ajmer on NH8 on[protected]. The onward and return journey was completed within less than six hours.
                    On checking the deductions from my FASTTAG for the journey, found that return journey benefit was given by TOLL PLAZA GEGAL, but the benefit was not given by TOLL PLAZA JAIPUR PLAZA and KISHANGARH PLAZA and full amount was charged by both the PLAZAs for the return journey in spite of the journey having been completed in less ten six hours.
                    You are requested to examine the issue and issue refund for the excess amount charged for the journey. Also please update the software for these and all other PLAZAs where excess charges are being levied and travellers fleeced.

                      Dear Sir, I am James, residing at Trichy. My vehichle number is TN45AH 8581. On[protected] at 11.59.01 p.m. I crossed Ponampalampatty toll plaza and I am charged for that. But unfortunately, I am also charged at Rasampalayam toll plaza at a time. How is it possible a car could pass two toll plazas at a time? I took this matter to the notice of the authorities at both two plazas. Rasampalayam authorities promised me to refund within two days. But I regret to say my money is not refunded so far.

                      I am very sorry to say What a poor digital system of India. I made a complaint to the authorities through this site about I was charged on 23rd August 2021 in two toll plazas at a time. and I made request to refund it to me on 28 August 2021. Almost 15 days were gone. But no replies I received till now. If I paid currency I would not have lost my money in two plazas at a time. Could any one explain how my money could be taken without scanning my vehicle? It is a digital theft. NHAI says to use fastag. But using fastag, money is theft and not refundable. Before crossing you collect money from us. But, you never repay in time if our money deducted unnecessarily by mistake. It is a digital theft. Again I make a request to give me a proper explanation and refund me immediately.

                              On 27th august'2021, i received a sms of debit of rs.70/- from my
                              paytm account for crossing of my car from toll plaza
                              (andiyari).
                              But i was at my home and had not gone for a long distance drive from last few days.

                              a solution so that this couldnot happen in future.

                                      Address: Chhajarsi Toll Plaza, Delhi-Meerut Expressway

                                      Chhajarsi Toll Plaza ticket No. 1950064 dt. 25.8.2021 time 5.33.59pm
                                      While crossing the above toll plaza on 25.8.2021 by my car there was insufficient balance in my fastag of IDFC first Bank and I paid. Rs. 260/-(double the normal charges). But the lady official sitting at the counter was telling me to deposit my RC or DL even I gave her a Rs.500/- note. She was rude enough and was telling me rudely that she can block my fastag. I want that strict action should be taken against such type of irrant officials. Copy of paid receipt is enclosed herewith.
