Q1Consider the following statements about Electronic Toll Collection in India: 1. Electronic Toll Collection using passive RFID technology has been implemented on a pan-India basis. 2. All lanes of fee plazas on National Highways were declared FASTag lanes with effect from midnight of 15th/16th February 2021. 3. After this declaration, the reported overall FASTag penetration immediately reached approximately 99%. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct: the official release describes pan-India ETC using passive RFID technology. Statement 2 is correct: all NH fee-plaza lanes were declared FASTag lanes from midnight of 15th/16th February 2021. Statement 3 is false: the cited release gives approximately 96%, not 99%, after the declaration.
Q2Consider the following statements about VAHAN linkage and enforcement: 1. The rules provide for integration of the NETC system with the VAHAN database for identification of vehicles and enforcement of unpaid dues. 2. If unpaid user fee remains unpaid beyond 15 days and no representation is pending, the amount may be recorded in the VAHAN system. 3. VAHAN linkage is used to erase unpaid dues automatically after 15 days. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 3 is incorrect because the cited material says dues may be recorded in VAHAN and restrictions imposed until cleared, not automatically erased.
Q3Consider the following statements about the e-notice payment rule: 1. If the amount is paid within 72 hours of issuance of the e-notice, only the original user fee is payable without any additional fee. 2. If there is non-compliance after 72 hours, the user fee may be charged at twice the normal rate of the vehicle category. 3. Under the rule, the original user fee is waived automatically whenever an e-notice is issued. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct and are supported by the NHAI/PIB material and the corpus fact bank. Statement 3 is incorrect: timely payment preserves the original fee; it does not waive the fee.
Q4Consider the following statements about safeguards and transaction handling in FASTag operations: 1. Interface Control Document 2.5 was mandated at all National Highway fee plazas only in 2019. 2. Interface Control Document 2.5 was meant to enable near-real-time processing of FASTag transactions at National Highway fee plazas. 3. SLA parameters for issuer banks provided time-bound resolution for complaints such as overcharging, double deduction and unauthorized transactions. 4. The declaration of all National Highway fee-plaza lanes as FASTag lanes resulted in reduced waiting time and minimized queues. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct. PIB says ICD 2.5 was for near-real-time transaction processing, SLA parameters for issuer banks covered time-bound complaint resolution, and the all-lanes FASTag declaration reduced waiting time and queues. Statement 1 is false because the cited years for ICD 2.5 implementation are 2020 and 2021, not only 2019.
Q5Consider the following statements about payment timing after an electronic notice under a new tolling system: 1. The user must pay the normal user fee within 72 hours of the electronic notice to avoid escalation. 2. If the user does not comply after 72 hours, the fee is charged at twice the normal rate for the vehicle category. 3. The corpus fact states that the user gets only 24 hours before the fee is doubled. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are true. Statement 3 is false because the cited fact gives 72 hours, not 24 hours.
