Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹105 car toll applies to one passage through Tendua Toll Plaza. The ₹155 return tariff covers one outward crossing and one eligible return crossing. It does not mean that ₹155 is charged during each passage.
A typical FASTag deduction may appear as:
- First crossing: ₹105
- Eligible return crossing: ₹50
- Total charge for both crossings: ₹155
The same vehicle and FASTag should be used for both passages.
If the return does not satisfy the applicable conditions, the second crossing may be treated as another single journey.
