Kathmandu. KATHMANDU: The facility of online or digital payment for vehicles plying on major highways will now be introduced.
Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) on Tuesday allowed commercial banks to issue radio frequency identification chip-based prepaid tag cards to commercial banks. The road fee will be automatically deducted based on the money deposited by the customer in this card account.
At a time when preparations are underway to bring the Nagdhunga-Naikap tunnel road into operation, Nepal Rastra Bank has directed the commercial banks to implement such facility. With this technology, the use of technology will be included in the collection of road fees in Nepal.
This card will be connected to the vehicle. Vehicles will not have to be stopped at any highway checkpoint where they have to pay fees or lies. The scanner attached to the bank will scan the card stuck on the front of the vehicle and deduct money from the account.
