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
