1️⃣ What if I have a tag but don’t have a sufficient recharge amount?

SDMC has a mobile application for recharging tags online. You can download the application ‘MCD-Toll,’ enter the mobile number and recharge the tag using debit or credit card or net banking.

2️⃣ Will I be charged any fee for non-compliance?

Yes, you might, but the body has decided to waive off the fine imposed on drivers for not having RFID tags or inadequate balance until October 15.

Is it a step towards automation? How do you think it will stabilize the transportation industry?
