The Centre on Tuesday tightened toll compliance norms on National Highways, announcing that vehicles with unpaid toll dues will no longer be eligible for key registration- and permit-related services such as No Objection Certificates (NOC), fitness certificates, and national permits. The move aims to curb toll evasion and strengthen electronic toll collection across the highway network.
The changes have been notified through the Central Motor Vehicles (Second Amendment) Rules, 2026, which amend the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. A key feature of the amendment is the formal definition of “unpaid user fee”, referring to toll charges recorded by the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system but not paid in accordance with the National Highways Act, 1956.
Under the revised rules, clearance of all pending toll dues has been made mandatory for issuance of an NOC for vehicle ownership transfer or interstate movement. Vehicles with outstanding toll fees will also be barred from obtaining or renewing fitness certificates. For commercial vehicles, applicants seeking a national permit must ensure that no unpaid toll demand is pending against the vehicle.
To implement the new framework, the government has updated Form 28, which is required for NOC applications. Vehicle owners will now be required to declare any pending toll dues and provide relevant details. Parts of Form 28 can also be issued electronically through the designated online portal, in line with the government’s digitisation push.
The Centre said the amendments will also facilitate the future rollout of the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system, aimed at enabling barrier-less toll collection, reducing congestion at toll plazas, improving travel efficiency, and ensuring technology-driven enforcement.
