What is FASTag

    
|
The National Highway Authority of India has commenced a nation-wide program for the electronic toll collection on toll plazas on the National Highways with the help of a device called FASTag. FASTag utilizes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to make toll payments from a prepaid wallet account linked to it.


FASTag is simple to use, reloadable tag which enables automatic deduction of toll charges and lets you pass through the toll plaza without stopping for the cash transaction. FASTag is linked to a prepaid account from which the applicable toll amount is deducted. The tag employs Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) technology and is affixed on the vehicle's windscreen after the tag account is active.

FASTag is a perfect solution for a hassle free trip on National Highways. FASTag is presently operational for more than 600 toll plazas across National and State Highways. More toll plazas will be brought under the FASTag program in the future.
