Benefits of FASTag
FASTag is an electronic toll collection system in India that digitalises highway toll payments. Using FASTag is very beneficial - it saves time since vehicles don't need to stop at toll plazas, reduces traffic congestion at toll booths, helps track vehicle movement, and minimises cash handling, reducing corruption. Switching to FASTag also entitles vehicles to discounts at certain toll plazas. Adopting this simple technology can make highway travel smoother.
How FASTag Works?
FASTag is a simple sticker that is placed on your vehicle's windscreen. It has a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that enables electronic toll collection. As your vehicle approaches a toll plaza, RFID readers will be installed to detect the FASTag on your windscreen. The information from your FASTag is captured, and the toll amount is deducted automatically from the prepaid account or wallet linked to it. The process is speedy, and you do not need to stop paying cash at the toll plazas if you have a valid FASTag. The barrier gate will lift as soon as the RFID reader detects your FASTag, allowing you to pass without any hassles. The FASTag is linked to your bank account or prepaid wallet. When a toll deduction happens, you will receive an SMS alert on the registered mobile number linked to your FASTag account. You can then recharge/top up your FASTag account through net banking, UPI, credit card, debit card, etc.Advantages of FASTag
