What is FASTag?
FASTag is an RFID passive tag used for making toll payments directly from the customer's linked prepaid or savings/current account. It is affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle and enables the customer to drive through toll plazas without stopping for any toll payments. The toll fare is directly deducted from the linked account of the customer. FASTag is vehicle-specific and once it is affixed to a vehicle, it cannot be transferred to another vehicle.
FASTag can be purchased from any of the NETC Member Banks. If a FASTag is linked to a prepaid account, it needs to be recharged or topped up as per the usage of the customer. If adequate balance is not maintained, the FASTag gets blacklisted at the toll plaza. In such a scenario, if the customer travels through a toll plaza without recharging, they won't be able to avail of NETC services and would be required to pay the toll fare through cash.
