Only 165 vehicles made RFID payments: SDMC
Only 165 commercial vehicles have made payments through radio frequency identity (RFID) tags since the new cashless toll system came into force at 13 busy border points in the national capital on August 24, a Senior South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) official said on Tuesday.
New Delhi : Only 165 commercial vehicles have made payments through radio frequency identity (RFID) tags since the new cashless toll system came into force at 13 busy border points in the national capital on August 24, a Senior South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) official said on Tuesday.
Randhir Sahay, Additional Commissioner of the SDMC, the nodal agency for implementing the RFID project in the capital, said over 3.6 lakh radio frequency identity tags have been sold so far but only 547 of them have been recharged.
Once a person buys an RFID tag and pastes it on his registered vehicle, the MCD tax and environment compensation charge (ECC) will be deducted at the 13 toll plazas automatically. "So far, only 165 commercial vehicles have paid MCD tax and ECC through RFID tags. On the first day itself, 6,000 people were challaned at 13 toll plazas for not using RFID tags," he said.
