(a) Yes, Madam. The rates of User Fee are determined in accordance with the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008, as amended, and the applicable provisions of the  Concession  Agreements.  In  case  of  Built,  operate  and  Transfer[BOT]  (Toll)  &  Operation, Maintenance and Transfer [OMT] projects the concessionaire collects the User Fee and shares the data  of  collection  with  the  executive  authority.  In  the  case  of  Public  Funded/Annuity  Projects,  the contract for collection of User Fee is awarded to highest bidder based on e-tender.

For  accuracy  of  data  collection,  as  per  the  latest  provisions  of  Concession  Agreements,  the Concessionaire installs an appropriate mechanism to ensure that a real time data of traffic count and corresponding revenue collection is shared. Real time data of toll transactions is collected wherever required  from  the  Concessionaire  as  per  prescribed  Electronic  Data  Interchange  (EDI)  protocol documents.

Further, on case to case basis, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) also undertakes third party audit of data received on its central server.
