The rounding off is to the nearest multiple of five at toll plazas, the official said, adding that stretches where the fee amounted to Rs 68 or 69 will now be charged Rs 70, while on stretches where it is Rs 62, Rs 60 could be charged.

Govt Rounds Off Fee at Toll Plazas for Quick Traffic Movement

i wonder if the toll plaza owners would be amused if they are asked to charge 60 rupees instead of 62 rupees.
this also means that price hike would now be at least 5 rupees instead of 1/2/3/4 in the future. consumers suffer in all cases.
 
Notice how the words are used.

For 68/69 --- it says -- "WILL now be charged 70" (surety)

For 62 --- it says -- "COULD be charged 60" (probably)
