RFID or radio frequency identification is a digital identity tag that is used to pass seamlessly through toll booths. RFID basically uses an electronic code that digitally identifies each vehicle moving through the check posts or toll plazas. Where to find RFID tag? RFID tags are available at each check post or toll booth in Delhi. You can find a stall where the RFID tags are issued to commercial vehicle owners or drivers. The SDMC has also made the process of recharging the tags easy with the help of an app called the MCD-Toll app, which is available on Google Playstore. The app requires a mobile phone number to recharge the tag. Tags can be recharged using debit/credit cards or via net banking. Commercial vehicles without RFID tags won't be allowed entry in Delhi from Jan 1 Notably, the major culprit in the accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase of the carbon footprint in the atmosphere are the commercial vehicles that move in and out of the city on a constant basis. -PTC News
