Role of Comvision in the Matter OD FASTags


FASTag is an electronic system designed for toll collection which is operated by the NHAI. This is based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, FASTag is fixed on the windscreen of vehicles. In simpler words, FASTags are prepaid rechargeable tag chips for toll collection. FASTags do not have any date of expiry, hence, their usage can be for as long as they are not tampered with and are readable at the toll plazas.


What is the working of the FASTag system?

 In case of vehicles which have FASTag affixed and enabled on them, do not have to stop at toll gates as the amount of the toll taxes are easily deducted from the prepaid or bank account while the vehicle is moving. This means that the driver of the vehicle does not need to stop their vehicle to make transactions as the toll collection will be done electronically under the National Electronic Toll Collection program. FASTags are issued by 22 banks which are certified for issuing them and also through various channels at National Highway toll plazas and also at select bank branches. 

What is the process of FASTag activation?

 Once the FASTag is brought, you will have to initiate an activation in order to make it functional. There are two ways to activate FASTags

1. Self-Activation
2. Activate by visiting a bank branch
