Toll plaza on nh 547 near jungawani, is not allowing vehicles to pay two sided charges as it will be cheaper as compare to two separate charges. One sided charge is 70 and two sided charges is 115 but they are enforcing users to pay separately 70-70 rupees on both time.
Please check this with the toll plaza and allow users to pay for both side. I can even mail fastag statement showing two separate deduction of 70-70 rupees

I am from indian army and had hired civil truck for transportation of my household goods on move on permanent posting and even though the driver was carrying exemption certificate as per section 1580 of indian toll act 1991, mr sandeep choudhary at nimbahera toll plaza forcibly charged unauthorized toll tax from driver, with proud claim that he has been doing this earlier as well. He refused to give any contact details of his superiors or produce any documents to further his claim. He also demanded that the officer whose luggage was going should have been traveling with the truck, which clearly meant that he was not aware of any policies or the indian toll act.
Request take necessary disciplinary action against the firm and the individual and please inform me of the action so taken.
Thanking you in anticipation of prompt positive reply.

Dear sir

I am using fastag purchased from hdfc bank.

Last week i made a trip to andhra pradesh from 02/03/2020 to 03/03/2020 by using my car tn 57 ad 9083.

On 05/03/2020, i received a message from fastag deducting rs. 450 from my fastag account. On that date, i am not making any trip.

The message was received from fastag as below

Your fastag a/c has been debited for rs. 450 for adjustment entry on 03/5/2020 7:33:55 pm. Balance amount in the a/c is rs. 20 - hdfc bank ltd.

I have also checked with bank & fastag statement showing rs 450 deducted from toll as manual debit.

Kindly revoke the wrongly deducted amount and credit the same in my fastag account and i have also sent you the wallet statement in an attached format for your reference and followup.

Please note that it is not mentioning the transaction date & time for the debit amount of rs.450/- in that wallet statement enclosed herewith.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

Dear nhai,

Am sivakumar from coimbatore (Tn 57 au 9441), when ever am crossing the salem to cochin toll at the l&t bypass, there was three toll gate and we need to pay 45 rs for all this three toll gates. But with the fast tag they are taking each toll gate 45rs, if we are asking about this there is no any response also. You can check my attachment for the details. May other city peoples are also crossing there, they don't know about this charges. So there is huge amount scam is happening in this toll gate. For the same if we are asking to the toll gate, there is no any proper response also. They asking us to contact toll gate authority.

Dear team,

As i was travelling from lucknow, there is toll which comes in between lucknow and raibareli. I was in the fast tag lane (2nd lane from the centre), there were two vehicles ahead of me. There was some issue with fast tag system so i kept on waiting when i went to ask the toll officer (Rakesh singh) that why are you not informing the people behind to change the lane to that he replied nothing can be done, you have to wait and he misbehaved with me. I usually face the same issue whenever i pass through this particular toll. The very purpose o[censored]sing fast tag is not getting fulfilled because of staff you keep.
I request you to follow up on the situation and take required action for the toll officer and give me some update on the following situation.

On 7/3/2020 assing through tollway o their toll gates crashed on our vehichle. Because of it our car got damaged and it will cost us about 50 thousand. Mr. Choudhury, manager of png tollway, pimpalgaon, nasik gave assurance that they will pay all the expenses and we have that in writing. But now after hearing the amount the is refusing. So please take strict action.

As i was crossing the mahuwan toll plaza from my car, an employee of the toll plaza broke the front mirror and rear mirror of my car with something heavy because the barrier did not fall while the fast tag is on my car. And toll money has also been deducted from fasttag's account. Now who is responsible for this loss and who will compensate for it.

Dear sir,

I wish to bring this to your notice, the nh 46 service road (Chennai - banglore nh, g v s fuel station service road and lkm shed service road) has illegally encroached by unauthorized people. Kindly take action to remove the illegal encroachment and to make use of the said service road by common people, which is not been able to be used by the motorist. This action will highly reduce the traffic congestion

Incident happened on chollang toll Punjab, their system was not able to scan fastag. your workers don’t even know how to behave with travellers travelling with families. He said either remove it or pay cash. Please find attachment for more clarification that he is misbehaving rather than solving problem.

Hope for positive and earlier reply.
Thx

I have got Fast tag for my vehicle TN 37 DF 1693. Further, I have taken a monthly pass for the Kaniyur Toll.

A few minutes back, I received a message from my Bank that my aforesaid vehicle has crossed the Kaniyur Toll at 16:20:59.

I have not travelled today anywhere and my vehicle is very much at my home. Shocked to receive a message.
Pl look into the matter and apprise me the correct position.

Sir there is no board showing that bike is not allowed, but traffic police cut the challan of bikes which is not good. All other toll roads are free for bike. I am very disappointed when i have to pay challan for no reason because of police dadagiri. They told us pay challan here for 500 otherwise pay at court for 5000. Noone want to do any discussion with police because everyone know their behaviour that's why they cut the challan anywhere...

Sir, i served in indian coast guard, and i was in uniform with i card. The operator denying for exemption and not give reply in respectable way as instructed in nhai letter and he charges toll fees from me. Toll amont 85, toll name - anantram toll plaza, ticket no[protected], date & time - 07/03/2020 14:30:51. Please clarify that, if defence is exempted with uniform and i card, than that toll plaza operator should know the proper things for smoth functioning at sensitive place.

Dear sir, we faced a worst experience on[protected].05 pm, at tangatur toll plaza, prakasam district, andhhra pradesh.

After tag validation, the barrel was gone up, we just moved from the place and suddenly the barrel automatically came down. We afraid ourselves and we suddenly stop the vehicle and aksed them what is the reason, their answer is not good and there is no responsible person available.

The other bad thing is the amount was deducted two times, from my account.

We felt this is not correct, where the government was restricting for the fast tag, why the nhai was taking care these all things.
