About this new FASTAG rule from 1st JAN 2021, do we still need a FASTAG if we don’t plan to drive across any toll gate?

Okay Thanks.
It is now mandatory for all even if you never take the vehicle within 5 KM of a toll gate. Without it, your insurance will not be renewed.
There are lot of interest free funds involved in making fastag mandatory.
+1 Banks lobbied hard looks like
I am not able to understand security deposit for Fastag where there is no credit involved.
They could have simply made pre-paid card like without all these hassles of registration when already vehicle is registered why tag needs again registration.
And these banks and wallets made it mess
After reading this, i dont even plan to insure my vehicle now
good luck to you if you ever get caught in an accident
What I read only 3rd party insurance will not be feasible without fastag. Me and most people I know normally do the comprehensive car insurance not the 3rd party insurance.
Also comprehensive car insurance is mandatory for any car, 3rd party is not mandatory. I guess we can still do without FASTag, however the indication is that this will become mandatory in near future.
Note: This is for private cars, diff rules are there for transport and commercial vehicles.
Edit: I stand corrected by panchabhut below. Ignore this comment please.
3rd party is mandatory for all vehicles. comprehensive is not. and comprehensive insurance also includes a 3rd party insurance as part of the package.
Paanch gadiyon ke liye ek fastag chalega ki alag alag lene padenge???
One per vehicle. not even one per owner.
If you own 5 vehicle, you need 5 fastag.
Minimum 200 rupees deposit to all vehicles across the country except for 2 and 3 wheelers. Imagine the kind of money government has made. It’s free money. Nobody will get it back because even if you sell the car as fastag stays with the car. Great scheme to loot money from people. I don’t understand the need for security deposit except for making money by the government.
The money is not even going to the Govt. It is going to the private party issuing the Fastag.
The minister said the toll amount will be deducted directly from the bank account based on the movement of vehicles. Or as needed for this and dat or other things..
WELKOME TO 2021!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need, but at the time of insurance renewal u need, so better take one
