Despite many drives, the state government has been unable to recover the outstanding amount, resulting in the state transport department writing to the central government for permission to link the e-challans to the bank accounts of the motorists. “The bank account linked to the
Fastag and for payment of annual motor insurance will be linked with the outstanding e-challans,” said an official from the transport department.
This will enable us to recover the outstanding amount whenever the motorist attempts to top-up his Fastag or pay his vehicle insurance.”
We have also been coordinating with insurance companies with instructions to not renew the policy until outstanding penalties are paid. Once the linking of the bank account is done, we expect to fully recover the fines.”
